Three Wise Widows, One Brave Conversation

Grief doesn’t send a calendar invite—but it rewrites everything. Three women—Betsy, Christy, and Kim—share how they faced widowhood and turned devastation into purpose: faith-rooted resilience, advocacy for patients and physicians, and practical frameworks for parenting and work.

Their stories move from loss to legacy: how an oncologist’s death exposed mental health stigma in medicine, how a cancer journey became a blueprint for protecting joy, and how tragedy sparked a 20-year fight for FDA transparency.

We cover what truly helps—anchoring routines, family guardrails, and mindsets that keep you grounded—as well as the bigger picture: systemic barriers to mental health care and questions every patient and caregiver should ask.

This isn’t grief as a slogan—it’s a guide for rebuilding with faith, purpose, and impact. Stay to the end for actionable takeaways and to meet Three Wise Widows, their new platform offering talks, retreats, and resources for those walking through fire.
