    Widowhood in Media - Our Favorite Recommendations

    Send a text When it comes to losing a spouse, the media loves a script — and it’s usually dramatic, rushed, or wildly unrealistic. In this episode, we unpack how movies, TV, and books shape what people think widowhood should look like, and how those portrayals influence the way widows are treated in real life. We talk about the shows and stories that actually get it right — including Grey's Anatomy and why honest representation matters. We also call out the common ways media gets it very wrong, from tidy grief timelines to one-dimensional “strong widow” stereotypes. By comparing real-life loss to what we see on screen, we’re challenging harmful narratives and highlighting the importance of telling stories that reflect the messy, complicated, and deeply human reality of losing a spouse. If you’ve ever felt judged, misunderstood, or pressured to grieve a certain way, this episode is for you.
