Books
Psychoeducational Books
The books included in our psychoeducational category are written by a person with an educational background in a mental health field, and have been vetted by our Soaring Spirits Program Team. The authors of these books may or may not be widowed, but the concepts included in their books will offer valuable resources to anyone mourning a person who has died.
Peer Recommendations
Our peer recommendation category offers a space within our library for community members to recommend books related to grief and widowhood that they've found valuable. These books are not individually vetted, but have helped a widowed person who took the time to recommend the book to others.

Camp Widow Presenter Books
Soaring Spirits' flagship program, Camp Widow, has been supported by a huge group of volunteer presenters who have shared their personal experiences, their wisdom, and their hearts with our community at any of our camp events. These books are all written by an author who has donated their time to at least one camp weekend. We list their books, which have not been individually vetted, to thank them for the generous support and to offer a broader audience access to the lessons they've taught onsite at Camp Widow.
