  • I wasn’t alone

    I found this podcast shortly after my husband died. Each day that I was able to get up and dressed, I would listen to an episode and try and complete one thing. Whether it was folding laundry or just taking a shower, I had other women in my ears sharing their grief stories and they were just like me. I had no idea how alone I’d feel. Losing your person is the worst pain I’ve ever experienced. And at the same time it’s opening my eyes up to how else we all are connected. Thank you all for your vu... more

  • Perfect Podcast for Any Stage of Widowhood

    I found this show close to the first anniversary of my husband’s death, and it was one of the few things that made me feel less lonely. All of the women are so authentic, warm, and human. No matter what topic they cover, you want to hear each of their views or their stories. I’m just past a year now, and literally turn on the podcast when I’m feeling there is no way out of relentless loneliness. They always comfort me. You’re going to want them to be your best friends.

Todd's presence is remembered through signs and a steady, loving memory that helped Marybeth stay grounded.

Episode 59: The Power of Premonition : When the Soul Knows First
