185- The Power of Widow Community
In this deeply honest and inspiring solo episode of Widowed 2 Soon, host Michelle Bader Ebersole opens the door to her everyday life—filled with travel, milestones, and meaningful moments of both joy and sorrow. Now five years into her widow journey and remarried, Michelle shares the tender experience of attending a 50th wedding anniversary with her new family—a celebration of enduring love that stirred both gratitude and grief.
She unpacks the power of widow and widower community, drawing from her time at multiple retreats across the country, including a recent “It’s Lifey” gathering where she witnessed incredible breakthroughs among “baby widows” just months into their loss. With raw reflection and uplifting encouragement, Michelle explains why connection with those who truly understand is so vital—regardless of where you are on the journey.
From practical tips on finding local or online support groups to a sneak peek into her vision for a future, faith-based widow retreat (yes—you’re invited to help dream it up!), this episode offers hope, solidarity, and spiritual encouragement for every stage of healing.
Whether you’re newly widowed, further along, or supporting someone who is—this episode reminds you: healing takes time, but you never have to walk it alone.
