After losing a spouse, many widows and widowers are haunted by guilt — guilt for what they did or didn’t do, guilt for surviving, or even guilt for feeling moments of happiness again. But what if that guilt isn’t proof of love, but a sign that your heart is still searching for peace?  

This eye-opening episode explores why widows hold onto guilt after loss and how it can become a false sense of control, loyalty, and purpose. Jen shares deep emotional insight into how guilt gives our pain somewhere to go — and how releasing it doesn’t mean letting go of love.

You’ll learn:

• Why guilt often feels like a form of love after loss
• How the mind uses guilt to stay “busy” during grief
• The truth about control, loyalty, and self-blame
• Gentle steps to begin letting go of guilt while keeping your connection alive

If you’ve ever wondered how to stop feeling guilty after your spouse’s death, this episode is for you! It will remind you that love doesn’t need to be proven through suffering. Releasing guilt is not betrayal — it’s an act of love, for both you and your partner.

Tune in to rediscover peace, forgiveness, and the courage to live again.
