Those Two Widows

In this final episode of season 1, Natalie and Katie invite their closest friends Lauren and Sophie to join them on the podcast.

In this episode, Katie and Natalie discuss what it's like to live alongside different memories of their partners - the positive, and the difficult negative memories surrounding their deaths. They chat about different ways of remembering their partners in the everyday moments and sharing those with the people they love.

2 years and counting - Katie & Natalie take time to reflect on reaching the milestone of being widows for 2 years. They consider how their relationship with grief has evolved over time and discuss tips and strategies that helped them through the second year, and how their friendship has supported them through new grief experiences.

In this episode, Katie and Natalie discuss mental health and grief with counsellor Clare Gyde. They talk about their experience of mental health support prior to and after the death of their partners, and share tips and insights about the importance of prioritising self-care while grieving.

In this episode, Katie & Natalie discuss what they thought being a widow would be like, and the reality of becoming a widow in their 30s. They tackle the so-called 'stages of grief' and reflect on the different emotions they've been through since losing Oli and Steve.

In this very first episode of Those Two Widows, Natalie and Katie tell the story of how they came to be grief pals and what they hope to achieve with this podcast. This one is a bit of a hard hitter out the bat, so be prepared for a few tears as they share the stories of how their husbands died in their early thirties. Don't worry, there will be laughs along the way too!
