Listen Later

In this heartfelt episode of Widowed 2 Soon, host Michelle Bader Ebersole sits down with Robyn Dillon—a widow, grief coach, and ministry leader from Virginia—to share her powerful story of love, loss, and resilience. Within a short span of time, Robin faced the unimaginable: losing both her husband and her adult son.

With honesty and grace, Robyn opens up about her childhood love story, the challenges of blended family life, and the raw reality of navigating grief as both a wife and a mother. She shares how faith carried her through, how she embraced healthy grieving, and how she found renewed purpose as a Christian life coach—helping others move from simply surviving to truly thriving.

Together, Michelle and Robyn explore:

  • Coping with the early, lonely days of widowhood

  • The role of faith, self-care, and community in healing

  • Supporting children through grief

  • Honoring sorrow while choosing hope

  • Rediscovering meaning and even considering dating again

This compassionate conversation is a comforting reminder that while every grief journey is unique, no one has to walk it alone. You’ll come away encouraged, understood, and equipped with practical wisdom from two women who deeply “get it.”

If you’re looking for hope, support, or simply a reminder that you belong, don’t miss this moving episode. Subscribe to Widowed 2 Soon, leave a five-star review, and share your own story—we’d love to hear your voice.
