  • Summary

  • This podcast is a place where widows and others can come to feel less alone. A safe place to process and share all the feelings, emotions and other shit that comes with being a widow. This is podcast that I, as new widow needed desperately and could have turned to for comfort, understanding, information and a laugh. A place where anyone can come to learn what grief really looks like in hopes that they can be more understanding, empathetic, patient, and helpful to anyone around them going through this shit too. Grief sucks, but it sucks worse when those around you don't get it.
