Several years ago, I had to say goodbye to my husband, David, when Leukemia stole him from us. Since then, it’s been me and my two wonderful daughters. I didn’t know any widows or widowers who had lost their spouse at such a young age. I was in my early 40’s with two young children to raise on my own. As time passed, I realized that my grief could have been easier if I had more support and advice, but more importantly, a community that understood what I was going through.
That’s why I started My Widowed Life, a Podcast and Facebook group. I felt compelled to help others navigate grief and move forward with their new life.
On the podcast, I, along with guests, will include topics like sadness, grief, how to take care of money matters, being a solo parent, dating again and much more. The Facebook group is a place where you can be honest about the unique challenges we face when we lose our partners.
Most of all, I want you to know that you’re not alone in this journey. I “get it” and I’m here to help.
