In the United States, there are more than 3 million women widowed! But, of that number, only 12% are under the age of 50. Let that sink in for a minute. That means that 360,000 women in the U.S. are widowed before they ever hit 50 years old. You know what else it means? It means 3 million of us loved and loved fearlessly! When your partner dies, you ache- you ache because you loved them. It means you are human.
It might sound like a depressing number, but the reality is, there are more of us out there than we know. We are not alone.
Our guest today, Erica Jane Cheatham-Ormeno, knows this all to well. But the way she has  
approached grieving, and how she is handling being single is a viewpoint I think we can all learn from.
