FIELD GUIDE FOR WIDOWS

How to Navigate the Journey You Didn’t Choose

Welcome!

Hi, I'm Ryane!

If you are a widow looking for support and resources, you’ve come to the right place.

I seek fun, joy, and adventure in everything I do. However, my life took a devastating turn in 2021 when a mountain bike ride with my beloved husband of 30 years ended in tragedy, leaving me a widow.

As I navigated the gut-wrenching heartache of losing the love of my life, I discovered many treasures along the way. In my debut book, FIELD GUIDE FOR WIDOWS, I share these marvelous treasures that come only to those who have experienced great loss and continue to trust God through it.

It’s a road map of healing and hope drawn from the pages of my own journey.

Whether you’re in the earliest days of heartbreak or further down the path, Field Guide for Widows meets you where you are—with honesty, encouragement, and hope.
