I’m a widow.
This podcast has given me the words to my current story. I lost my husband of 40 years 9 months ago. This is the hardest time in my life. Listening gives me hope that someday it will become easier.
Your fantastic
I just listened to the first podcast,and what a lift it gave me. I’m ten months into my journey and it’s been difficult and I have been feeling like I’m not progressing like I should be. Thanks for showing me to grieve how I need to,not how others think I should be. I will definitely listen to more of your podcast. Thank you so much for being here.
