  • 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.
