  • A relatable young widow

    Being widowed at the age of 40 with 2 young daughters, I felt so alone and like no one understood what I was going through. I attended a widow retreat where I really found my people. Rosie was a speaker at the retreat and I have done a deep dive down her podcast after we met. She’s so relatable and makes me feel less alone.

  • Informative, Supportive and Uplifting

    I am only new to widowhood at nearly 2 years, but the podcast is helpful to listen to others people’s experiences and how they have rebuilt their lives. It makes me feel like I’m not doing everything wrong ! Great that there is something out there for us to discuss the issue of grief !

  • Thank you

    My dearest husband passed by suicide a month ago. 25 magnificent years today spending every free moment with each other. Met and married within 3 weeks and I would do it all over again with him even knowing the outcome. What gets me through is that I was very lucky for a while, more then some people. I have challenged days but try to live my best life FOR him. Thank you for telling it like it is.

  • A hard but important and beautiful listen

    I personally haven’t been widowed, but as someone who has a friend who has I think this is a really important listen. I myself experienced the death of a close family member at a young formative age and I know that sense of your world changing overnight. I’m finding this incredibly podcast useful in order to know how to support my friend, but also cathartic for myself to hear my own grief described in ways I hadn’t thought of. These ladies are being so so brave and honest and I commend them so m... more
