Audra O'Neil's husband, Chad, passed away from cancer in 2015, at the age of thirty-nine.


At the Helm: The Young Widow's Journey from Struggle to Strength is a balance between stories of real-life widows, research, and practicality. It focuses on what young widows worry about, feel, and do after the death of a partner, by sharing relatable strategies to help with healing and feeling whole again. Ultimately, this book is a lighthouse on the shore, showing us that wisdom and growth can emerge from struggle, sadness, and the loss of a spouse.


Within these pages, you will learn:

  • What to do with a loved one's belongings after they pass
  • How to make holidays tolerable (and maybe even joyful)
  • Ideas for helping children cope after the loss of a parent
  • After five years of maneuvering the rough seas of life without a partner, and solo parenting two young boys, O'Neil navigates herself and others to dry land. At the Helm is a guide for young widows, and the people close to them, to find balance in life once again. It will help you not only survive the unthinkable, but thrive in a new reality.
