“It’s just grief,” they’ll tell you, “it will pass. We all lose someone at some point in our lives.”

But the death of a partner is so much more than “just grief.” It’s a different kind of grief — the kind that permanently shifts our perspective on life.

It’s stressing over what to do with their belongings and feeling anxious when you hear the doorbell ring. It’s tossing and turning to the memory of their last breath and pondering the many decisions you could have made to prevent their death.

As someone who’s been through it, Jessica Ayers understands how crushing partner loss is. In a matter of seconds, she went from nursing her 3-day-old son to feeling for her dead husband's pulse.

In Your Partner Is Dead, Now What? Jessica explores the darkest corners of grief that emerge after the loss of a partner. She writes with extreme vulnerability about the unforeseen moments of trauma, grief, and anger we encounter and offers first-hand advice on how to adequately face them.

With expert contributions from two grief therapists, Your Partner Is Dead, Now What? examines life after loss and offers a realistic approach to finding a new normal after enduring the most unimaginable pain.

Your Partner Is Dead, Now What? is for anyone who’s lost a romantic partner to death and those who support them. With this book’s insight, you can learn to stop fighting grief as something to move on from and start embracing it as something we must live with forever.

Jessica Ayers is a freelance writer, blogger, professional singer, mom, widow, wife, and social media influencer. After losing her husband to gun violence in 2014, three days after giving birth to her first child, Jessica started cataloging her fight for happiness after loss on her blog The Singing Widow.

When her blog started reaching widows all over the country, Jess realized there was a gap that she wanted to fill in the world of partner-related loss and grief. Her grief, her story, and her quest for healing became her passion in an effort to lift the curtain on a subject that society deems taboo.

Easy read for anyone going through loss. I am now 3 years post loss and I believe I definitely would have benefitted from this book in the first year of my grief journey. I couldn’t focus on much in the first year and this book makes it very simple to read in short bursts. It doesn’t sugar coat anything and gives straight forward truths.

Jessica's story and the way that she tackled the grief that came in waves after the death of her husband are inspiring. The way she breaks down the grief process and the triggers and the healing that can come are beautifully written and easy to understand and identify.
I purchased this as a gift for a friend who recently lost her husband and she reported that it's been so helpful for her to navigate the loss.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Difficult Journey Shared to Help Others
Reviewed in the United States on August 5, 2023
It must have been very hard for the author to revisit the difficult things she had to overcome as a young widow and new mother. She has shared her journey, openly and honestly, to help not only widows but also those who want to support them. She did a great job of explaining how she handled the different aspects of being a widow, but she was careful to give other widows the encouragement to do things in the way that they think is best. After reading this book, I have a better understanding of how I can help grieving friends and family members, and I learned some tools for dealing with grief personally.

Helpful hints for those who haven't really experienced death of a spouse but are dealing with other types of grief. It shows people that it is okay to have the hard days. Positive outlook on the future. A good easy read makes you feel uplifted. A book that you read once put it on the coffee table and pickup often.
