Widowed 2 Soon; Advice on Faith, Mental Health, and Dating Again

202- Surviving the Holidays After Loss


Listen Later

In this heartfelt episode of Widowed 2 Soon, Michelle Bader Ebersole welcomes listeners into her newly refreshed studio and introduces a more intimate format—one that blends meaningful guest conversations with personal solo updates created specifically for widows and widowers seeking authentic, faith-filled support.

Michelle opens her heart and shares real moments from her own grief journey, including tender holiday memories with her late husband, Luke, and the ways she’s learned to reshape traditions with her family in the years since his passing. She gently addresses the complex emotions that surface around the holidays—grief waves, loneliness, unexpected triggers—and offers practical, hope-filled tools for navigating this season with grace. Listeners will hear guidance on blending old traditions with new ones, creating space for joy without guilt, and allowing themselves to feel whatever rises without judgment.


Whether you’re approaching an anniversary, preparing for a holiday gathering, or simply trying to make it through the day-to-day realities of widowhood, this episode reminds you that you’re not alone. It’s filled with encouragement, practical strategies, and the steady reassurance that healing is possible—especially when you walk this road with faith, compassion, and community.
