Imagine life just starting to get good, feeling like things are finally falling into place. Seemingly worry free and looking forward to starting a new year off with a bang! 

And then the unexpected happens or should I say the unexpected returns! 

Just 6 weeks  after my husband died in 2018, I was diagnosed with a rare eye cancer with no cure, Ocular Melanoma. As hard as the news was to accept then, it's even harder now with a new diagnosis of Stage IV Metastatic Uveal Melanoma. 

Out of all my journeys in grief, widowhood and self discovery, my cancer journey has been the hardest to accept with a limited life expectancy.  

As I face this new reality I hope you continue to follow me on this journey of embracing life fully and finding joy in each moment until the very end. 

As always, Widow Your Way ❤️

Life has a way of surprising us with unexpected twists that force us to reassess everything we once held close.  Life just threw me a curveball – my Cancer has made a surprising return, taking me into an uncertain chapter of my life, a terminal diagnosis of Stage 4 Liver Metastatic Uveal Melanoma.

I find myself grappling with the profound emotions that come with living with an incurable disease and the heart-wrenching realization that my journey has an impending end.

As I step into this new season of my life, my focus remains on finding joy amidst the chaos and continuing to connect with you through this podcast. Through these episodes, I aim to provide solace to anyone dealing with grief, no matter its form.

My hope is for this podcast to serve as a beacon of hope, a living legacy that reflects the enduring power of love.  While the frequency and content of future episodes might shift, the heart of this show remains the same.

I invite you to walk beside me on this journey, navigating  new intricacies of grief, the depths of love, the complexities of life, and the resilient beauty of the human spirit.

As always, Widow Your Way ❤️

A year ago I announced I was starting a podcast. What some people don't know is that my brother Donnie gives me the courage to speak my mind. 

In this episode I'm baring my soul about losing my brother. As this grief is still fresh, I share the rollercoaster of our relationship, my guilt and regrets, realizing the very things that would drive me crazy are now cherished memories. 

This episode is a raw, unfiltered journey through sibling love, a tribute to the impact Donnie had on my life.

If grief is the price for love, I will gladly pay this toll ❤️

What if Thanksgiving doesn't have to be a full-throttle, joy-filled celebration? What if it's okay to shuffle the traditions, to feel a little less than festive, especially when you're wrestling with grief or loneliness? 

This episode is a heart-to-heart conversation, acknowledging that it's absolutely fine to have an 'Unhappy' Thanksgiving. 

We challenge the idea that gratitude must be monumental, instead, inviting you to celebrate the seemingly small things you are grateful for. And above all, we remind you that love is still very much alive.

As always, Widow Your Way ❤️

In honor Domestic Violence Awareness Month, lets shine a light on the often unspoken and deeply sensitive topic of abuse, especially concerning surviving Widows of domestic violence. We explore the intricate layers of grief and healing that these survivors go through, and how their journey to recovery differs from traditional widowhood.

These brave women may experience relief and even happiness after their loss, emotions that can be challenging to understand from the outside. It's a reminder that there's no single way to grieve, especially when the person lost was an abuser. We discuss the importance of non-judgmental support and emphasize the need for these Widows to find their unique path to freedom, self-love, and a life without fear. Theirs is not only a widowhood journey but also a journey to reclaim their lives and rebuild with strength and resilience.

If you are experiencing domestic violence, help is available. Please call 1-800-799-SAFE or you can text ‘START’ to 88788.

When we lose someone we love, we're often told that the first year is the hardest. But what happens when that first year is over, and we're still grappling with the void that person has left behind? 

After the first year Widows may find themselves feeling increasingly alone in their grief. Yet amidst the pain, there is hope and healing.  

As always, Widow Your Way ❤️

Grief is like an onion! There are so many layers!

In this episode we unravel the multi-layered journey of a widow, and an often overlooked topic of widowhood: the grief for the loss of one's former self. It's not just about mourning a spouse; it's a journey of self-discovery and transformation.

The message is simple: it's okay to embrace change and let go of who you once were. During grief and loss, there is also a chance for rebirth and growth.

This episode celebrates the courage to redefine yourself, reminding us all that the widowhood journey is about honoring your past while embracing a brighter, self-empowered future.

As always, Widow Your Way ❤️
