The Widowhood

Your last episode 10/11 was fabulous I feel the same way about not feeling supported..my husband battled cancer for 7 years I understand how you feel ….keep the great episode coming I don’t miss a one thanks

I love this podcast- it’s genuinely making me feel less alone whilst going through the *worst* time. They get it. Thank you, Rosie and Helen, for your service to the widows!!

To feel like I wasn’t alone.

To feel like I belonged somewhere, other than alone.

You two ladies have really helped me more than you can ever have imagined!

Giving me a voice and connection, through your brave words and shared real time experiences.

I hear you! I am with you!

As a new widow in my thirties, I find Helen and Rosie’s experiences so relatable. Their use of humor and snark to navigate these early days also speaks to my experience and makes me feel understood and not alone. Highly recommend to anyone who is navigating widowhood or trying to support someone who is.

There are a lot of podcasts out there on this topic, but this is the most incredible by far. Down to earth, heartwarming…I’ve never felt such a mix of emotions in the space of an episode. HIGHLY recommend.

Literally love listening to the podcast. So much of the cancer journey resonates with me & the way you talk so honestly is a refreshing listen! Definitely resonates with my Rainbow Hunting philosophy. Thank you x

Such difficult subjects, so beautifully presented and discussed - episode after episode. I am learning so much every time. The podcast leaves me wanting to hear more.

Absolutely loving listening to these brave women. Gives me the belly aches with laughter but also finding it so informative to hear their heartbreaking journey. Can’t wait for more

I listened to your Podcast after seeing you both on TV this week.

In the last few years our family have gone through numerous bereavements and are all dealing with it all in our own way. I’m particularly worried about my eldest sister who lost her beloved husband (and my beloved brother in law ) almost five years ago to cancer. She lives away but I’m going to visit in a couple of weeks and I’m going to get her to listen. I’m sure she’ll get some comfort (and laughs ) from it.

I lost my husband and my son after they were killed by a twice failed asylum seeker driving dangerously no insurance, driving licence etc.

I had lost my middle son after his birth. We were foster caters prior to this.

Now my only surviving son is battling Oesophageal cancer and the chemo hasn’t shrunk the tumour and his op has been postponed. I feel I am grieving for him my middle son and my youngest son as well as my wonderful soulmate (second marriage) buried them on our 5th wedding annivers... more

What a pair! Such a privilege to get an insight into their truly tragic stories. Filled with incredible sadness, raw honesty and laughter thrown in for good measure. Some truly insightful ways to try help anyone going through, and supporting those going through, such horrific circumstances. Would highly recommend anyone to listen to this courageous duo!

Thank you to Rosie and Helen for this excellent podcast.

Wow! This is an amazing listen. These two are open and honest and talk with such inight and thoughtfulness. I am sure it would be a huge means of support to anyone else in this "shit club". And it's also hilarious. They have such amazing chemistry, I can't believe they've only just met!

Marvellous! So open and honest and also hilarious!! I would urge anyone to listen whether you are bereaved, supporting someone who has been bereaved or if you just fancy a laugh!

Can’t wait for the live stage tour!!

I’m 2 years widowed- kids grown up - I love MOST of this Pod but it is so YAH!! Not sure that dropping all The F-Bombs everywhere makes it less precocious! Not sure if I’ll keep listening. 😰😰
