- Thank you
I read your article in The Telegraph online, and it made more sense to me, nine months into widowhood, than anything or anyone else since last June. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

United Kingdom3 months ago - 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.

Good and important podcast but wish the host wouldn’t interrupt the guests so much! It’s infuriating.

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 !

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.
