Practical Widowing

Have you ever walked away from a conversation wondering if you said too much? In this episode, I talk about why our stories still matter—and why widows shouldn’t be afraid to talk about the husbands they loved, say their names, share their memories, and keep their stories alive.

Anger is one of the most common—but least talked about—parts of grief. In this episode, we discuss the anger widows may feel toward themselves, their spouse, God, or others, and why holding on to unforgiveness only adds to our burden. Together, we’ll explore a path toward healing, grace, and hope.

Serving others can oftentimes change your outlook more than you realize. Listen to what did that for me this week!

Widowhood can make us want to retreat from the world around us, but healing often happens when we stay connected. Join me as I share how one special celebration reminded me that we all need friendship, community, and a sense of belonging.

Widowhood can leave us searching for comfort in many places. In this episode, I share how shifting my focus from sadness to God brought peace, hope, and encouragement.

Holidays don’t stop when someone dies… but they sure don’t feel the same.

The traditions are still there.

The decorations are still there.

The people are still there.

But the person you most want to share them with isn’t.

Grief can make us vulnerable in ways we don’t always recognize. This episode explores practical ways to protect yourself from scams, manipulation, and people who may try to take advantage of your kindness or your loss.

One of the greatest gifts you can leave your family is being organized. In this episode, we discuss how to gather important information, documents, accounts, passwords, and final wishes in one place so your loved ones aren’t left searching for answers when they need them most.

Healing doesn’t usually happen through giant leaps. More often, it’s the little things—the small accomplishments and daily choices—that help us keep going when we feel like giving up.

Sometimes the expectations that weigh us down aren’t coming from other people—they’re coming from us. Learning to let go of unrealistic expectations can bring unexpected peace.
