Listen Later

In this powerful episode of Widowed 2 Soon, host Michelle Bader Ebersole sits down with special guest Weston Brandon, a young widower from Utah whose story will resonate with anyone navigating life after the death of a spouse. Weston shares his deeply personal journey of love, loss, and rebuilding after his wife Lauren’s sudden passing just two weeks after the birth of their son—a story that will touch your heart and inspire hope.

From coping with grief at just 23 years old to raising a premature baby alone, Weston talks candidly about the overwhelming waves of loneliness and the challenges of single parenthood. He discusses how faith anchored him through unimaginable pain and how supportive community—both family and friends—can make all the difference. Weston also opens up about finding love again, blending families, and honoring his late wife’s memory—all while keeping an open, loving relationship with his in-laws and extended family.

Listeners will gain invaluable insights into healing, dealing with isolation, and finding renewed purpose after loss. Weston introduces his new book, “The Overhaul: Fixing Your Mindset and Driving Success,” which offers a practical framework for anyone—widow, widower, or not—striving to reclaim their life and take bold steps forward.

Whether you’ve recently lost a spouse or are years into your journey, this episode is packed with encouragement, guidance, and real-life strategies for finding peace and meaning again. Michelle and Weston’s honest conversation proves that even after devastating loss, it’s possible to create a new, joy-filled chapter.
