Habits of Widows

When occupational therapist Rondalyn Whitney’s husband, Bill, dies in a car accident, her world shatters. Left to navigate life without him while supporting their sons, Rondalyn quickly learns that the grieving process is about more than an emotion—it’s an occupation she must master.

As friends and neighbours initially offer assistance and then return to their own lives, Rondalyn faces the reality of widowhood on her own terms—crossing out the word widow in financial planning books, embracing small rituals of resilience, and learning to handle the everyday tasks Bill once managed.

Through seasons of sorrow and unexpected gratitude, she finds strength in the simplest moments, and realizes that she is capable of forging a new path. With each passing day, she discovers that grief is not about moving on—it’s about moving forward while carrying love with her.
