I look forward to listening to this podcast weekly and have spent time listening to old episodes as well. As a new widow, it has helped me process my emotions, find the support I needed and laugh during heavy moments.
As a recent widow that has been plagued by the nicest people giving me sad face constantly. This podcast is giving the cure. These ladies make sense to me when so many things don’t right now.
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.
