Encountering a bear that night after dusk, Katie is separated from the group and trapped by the bear. Hearing her screams as the animal attacked her, John was unable to distract the bear and watched helplessly from a distance as it slowly crushed his wife to death. Katie was thirty years old. "Young Widower" is John Evans's memoir not just of one day, but of six years spent with a wife he loved, and the days and months that followed the tragedy. A widower at age twenty-nine, John finds himself living with Katie's family in the year after her death, discovering the cyclical nature of grief, the guilt of surviving, and what it means to lose a marriage. His desire to remember Katie is many things: devoted, empathic, needy, lonely, self-important, critical, nostalgic; he is a young widower negotiating a world that understands elderly widows, but doesn't know what to do with an angst-ridden young man worried about continuing to live without his wife for a very long time. Unflinching and unsentimental, "Young Widower" is a heartbreaking witness of living daily with grief, a rumination on the fragility of the human experience"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Evans, John W. $q (John William), $d 1977- 600 10 $a Evans, John W. $q (John William), $d 1977- $x Marriage. 650 0 $a Widowers $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Young men $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Widowers $z United States $x Psychology. 650 0 $a Widowhood $z United States $v Case studies. 650 0 $a Wives $x Psychological aspects $x Psychological aspects $v Case studies. 650 0 $a Loss (Psychology) $v Case studies. 650 7 $a BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / Personal Memoirs. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a FAMILY & RELATIONSHIPS / Death, Grief, Bereavement. $2 bisacsh 830 0 $a River teeth literary nonfiction prize (Series). 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160826090412.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=6E31D53C6B5511E69AFE1DDBDAD10320 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
