Schulz, has written her story of her seven years of widowhood. Schulz tells how she has dealt with her grief by coming out of retirement to head the Peanuts’ empire. Schulz also reveals how she has used the flying trapeze to learn how to overcome her fears and all that she thought was too big to “take on.” Included with her story is a poem she wrote to “Sparky,” entitled, “Weeping.” Says Schulz of working with WidowSpeak on her story, "It was very nice to talk to someone who actually seemed interested in my story. I think about my life all the time, but I don't generally like to talk about myself. I've learned something from putting my thoughts into words." WidowSpeak was created so that widows would have a place to share their stories of loss, grief, hope and renewal.
