Customer Reviews
EP 193 so validating
Hearing another widow’s story about her partner’s disease that took over their marriage helped me feel sooo heard. Although I didn’t divorce him, it took a HUGE toll on our marriage. Thank you foe openly speaking about this. 🙏🏽🫶🏼
Valuable to anyone who’s lost their person
This podcast spans many spectrums of relationships, loss, healing, type, time etc. I have listened to all of their episodes and although they don’t all relate to my situation, I always learn something.
Positive but Realistic
Appreciate the positivity overall while not at all ignoring the struggle, pains, and evolution off grieving and continued growth in life. I’m on year four of widowhood and so much of this podcast is still helpful. Thank you so much!
