Book Synopsis

Ben Brooks-Dutton''s wife - the great love of his life - was knocked down and killed by a car as he walked beside her, pushing their two-year-old son in his buggy. Life changed forever. Suddenly Ben was a widower deep in shock, left to raise their bewildered child alone.
In the aftermath Ben searched for guidance from men in similar situations, but it appeared that young widowed fathers don''t talk. Well meaning loved ones admired his strength. The unwritten rule seemed to be to ''shut up, man up and hide your pain''.
Lost, broken and afraid of the future, two months after his wife Desreen''s death, Ben started a blog with the aim of rejecting outdated conventions of grief and instead opening up about his experiences. Within months Life as a Widower, had received a million hits and had started an all-too-often hushed conversation about the reality of loss and grief.
This is the story of a man and a child who lost the woman they so dearly love and what happened in
