  • Real, raw, and honest

    Being a young widow is incredibly hard, but this podcast makes it a little easier. It reminds me I’m not alone, and hearing others share their struggles gives me hope. I feel seen here—this is real, raw, and honest grief talk. And the snarky store? Who knew grief could make me laugh so hard. It’s messy, it’s healing, and it’s exactly what I need.

  • Healing!

    What I wanted most after Eric died was a mentor. This show provides a new one each week and lets me know that I can do it too. And I love that we can laugh together. Thank you Anita and Mel.

  • Grateful and amazing!

    I was introduced by a complete stranger to this podcast. I wasn’t sure that I would love it but from the first episode I was so hooked. Finally! People who understand what I feel, what I think and I’m not alone. I’m very grateful for this podcast because it’s made me realize that I’m not the only one who’s thinks, feels and does things the way I do after my husband’s death. ❤️
