Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - No one tells a widow what may happen when her body begins to awaken again.There is the longing. The guilt. The memory of familiar hands. The uncertainty of being touched by someone new. There are questions she may be afraid to ask aloud: Can I still desire Can I be desired Does pleasure betray the person I loved Who am I in a body that has survived loss-and still wants to feel alive In A Widow's Body: A Pleasure Guide No One Talks About, Lori Hurt brings those private questions into the light with honesty, tenderness, sensuality, and unexpected humor.This intimate collection gathers selected excerpts from Hurt's existing works alongside new body reflections written specifically for this volume. Its anchor essay, 'A Widow's Body,' explores the complicated return of desire after loss-the longing, guilt, curiosity, awkwardness, and pleasure that can coexist within a grieving body. Together, the selections trace a woman's journey from remembering and missing to fearing, permitting, wanting, and ultimately reclaiming her body.Through stories of first embraces, remembered touch, loneliness, anticipation, self-consciousness, intimacy, laughter, and love after loss, Hurt challenges the expectation that widowhood should make a woman permanently quiet, untouchable, or disconnected from desire. She writes candidly about the body's memories, its fears, its hunger for comfort, and its stubborn insistence on continuing to live.This is not a prescriptive guide to dating, sex, or healing. It does not offer a timetable for when a widow should be ready, nor does it suggest that every woman will want the same things. Instead, it creates space for the full and complicated truth: grief and desire can coexist. Love for the person who died can remain sacred while the body reaches toward warmth, connection, intimacy, and joy.At times tender, vulnerable, playful, and boldly sensual, A Widow's Body reminds readers that wanting is not betrayal. Pleasure does not erase love. Being touched again does not diminish what came before. A woman may carry grief in her body and still belong fully to herself.Connected to Lori Hurt's larger body of work on grief, healing, identity, and becoming, this collection expands the widow's journey beyond survival. It enters the private rooms grief books often leave closed and begins a conversation too many women have been left to navigate alone.For widows rediscovering themselves, partners seeking to understand, and anyone interested in the ways grief continues to live inside the body, A Widow's Body offers recognition without judgment and permission without pressure.A grieving body is still a living body.It can remember.It can miss.It can fear.It can permit.It can want.It can reclaim.And, in its own time and in its own way, it can awaken again.…
