Death of a spouse, divorce, or choice are just a few of the reasons people today might live alone. In this much-needed book, Herbert Anderson and Freda Gardner provide help for facing this situation. Asking "Can I live alone and still be whole?" they respond by maintaining that wholeness in God's sight depends on how we live our lives -- whether with another or alone.
Drawing on touching stories, and their lived experiences, they illuminate aspects of the grief, loneliness, and solitude one can face being alone -- as well as offer practical suggestions for living well and faithfully. A chapter on the church offers important suggestions to help those ministering to those who live alone.
