Episode Synopsis
I Lost My Husband. Here’s How I Learned to Live Again (Bonus x Grief Observed)
Bonus Episode — My Story on the Grief Observed Podcast (with Brad Morrell)In this bonus crossover, I share the raw story of losing my husband in 2021, parenting four teens through that storm, the day everything cracked open on a garden bench, and the simple, brave decision that started my life again. We talk identity after loss, faith when answers don’t come, why “moving forward” beats “moving on,” and how Brave Widow began.
You’ll hear:
The ICU goodbye and the identity freefall after loss
The bench moment: choosing to live when grief felt endless
Practical grief help vs. platitudes (what actually helps)
Faith, guilt, and finding peace without tidy answers
Rebuilding: community, confidence, and remarriage after widowhood
Why I named it Brave Widow (not Fearless Widow)
