A Widow and A Wife-Where 'for better or worse' Gets Real

This week on Episode #7 of A Widow and A Wife, we are heading into "The Languages of Love: from "Pucker Up" to "Unload the Dishwasher".

We are talking about how we give love, how we receive it, how we learn this about ourselves and how it can be completely rewritten depending on your age AND your gender. Sometimes it may be flowers or late-night texts, but more often possibly it's doing something without a reminder or just being heard.

Grief and life transitions can completely restructure what you need to feel safe and cared for. So the question stands, what does the connection look like when put into practice?

Shoulder Pads and Second Hand Embarrassment...we are owning all of it. Episode #6 has dropped! We're taking a mental health break from grief talk this week to focus on a different kind of trauma...High School. Some of the best music and worst fashion!

This week on A Widow and A Wife, we're putting down the heavy stuff and picking up our teenage cringe and asking ourselves...did I really do that? If your soul needs a breather and a reminder that you too survived blue eyeshadow and questionable choices, this one is for you!

As "A Widow and A Wife", we've seen both sides...Episode 5 is here and we are talking about the peace of having a plan vs. the nightmare of scrambling in the darkest hours.

Do your future self and loved ones a fabor-love isn't always feeling sometimes it's a binder and not a scavenger hunt. "Get Your Ducks in a Row (or Your Crap in Gear)-we're giving you the kick in the butt to get your stuff together.

Grief doesn't care about our busy schedules or our coping mechanisms. It finds us anyway, no timeline, no silver lining and no trying to "fix" it. Just meeting grief where it finds you...breathing through the heavy moments whenever and wherever they find you. If you are running on less than fumes, let this be your invitation to slow down and just be where you are.

Episode #3 is here...

"Not Your Daughters Hot Girl Summer"

While the young ones are chugging iced matcha, wearing crop tops and checking when the UV is the highest. The 50 somethin' version looks a little or a lot different. Hopefully not a questionable haircut, but most likely an estrogen patch, some supplements and a very necessary shift in how we mother ourselves during stress and grief. We are talking orthopedic shoes and fiber. It all counts, trust us! Grab your bifocals and join us!

When you are at the bottom and you can't see the light, company is usually nonexistent...every now and then someone doesn't just stand at the top and offer well meaning advise and throw you a rope...they climb down in, sit with you, help you stand and eventually maybe see some light, show you the way up. These are your pit people!

Just 2 girls figuring it out one episode at a time, for real. From fighting with cords, to recording and "crap, I talked too fast"...we are doing it all. Bringing the raw truth about loss, the messy reality of love and the essential laughter for survivial. It may get heavy, sometimes hilarious and we might be a tad uncesored. Join us weekly for the journey of "when for better or worse doesn't always follow the script".
