121- The Power of Purpose in Widowhood with Special Guest Karin Kendall
In an emotional and insightful episode, host Michelle Bader Ebersole and guest Karin Kendall share a profound conversation that delves into the tumultuous process of grieving, healing, and rediscovering one's self after the loss of a spouse. This episode, provides a heartfelt narrative as Karin opens up about her personal experiences—from the shock and pain of sudden loss to the active steps she took towards recovery.
Listeners will find solace in Karin's advice to embrace every emotion during the grieving process, including the lows of breakdowns and the highs of laughter. Her experience serves as a powerful reminder that time alone does not heal; it is the intentional work through grief and seeking support that truly makes a difference.
Karin's story of finding her husband Matt's peaceful yet unexpected passing resonates with the unique challenges faced by those who have been widowed. Her strife with "widow's fog," suicidal thoughts, and the overwhelming fear of navigating life alone is a harrowing testament to the reality of loss.
However, Karin's journey is also one of resilience, as she returned to work just weeks after her loss, setting an example of fortitude and financial responsibility.
The path to recovery is highlighted through the resources and communities that aided Karin, including the grief recovery method, grief share programs, and a widow's retreat that provided a sanctuary of understanding.
Her own initiative to start a local support group on Facebook showcases how individuals can find connection and solace through shared experiences.
In this episode, Michelle and Karin also tackle the complexities of subjects ranging from dating after loss to confronting second-year grief misconceptions, with the overarching theme that everyone's journey is profoundly personal.

Customer Reviews
Love this podcast
Thank you for this podcast. I lost my husband unexpectedly 6 months ago and I love listening to these God-centered episodes. It has been so helpful to me in navigating my way forward as a widow with young children.
True Comfort for a Shattered Heart
As Mark would say, I’m still a “whittle widow” and am wading through the rubble of my life (which feels like I got dumped on another planet) since my husband suddenly passed away. I have found this podcast to be the most beneficial, comforting and encouraging resource. Many days, the only time I laugh or crack a smile is when I’m listening to an episode. Mark and Michelle are real-world inspirations that “get it”; they have helped me deepen my Faith and feel a little less alone. I can’t recommend this podcast more. Thank you both!!
Excellent message!
I really enjoyed Episode 80 with Tricia! There is no blueprint for grief and going through loss. But I honor her reliance on her faith! The best way to get hope for ourselves is to give it away - and I love that Tricia does that!
