  • 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.

    Thanks ladies for helping me through this extremely difficult time by sharing your stories. At times I felt like I was going crazy, then I would listen and hear you talk about all the same feelings and experiences. It made me realize that what I was feeling was just part of grief. You make me laugh, you make me cry but most of all you just make me feel not so alone.
