Life as a widow can be full of grief, pain, and loneliness. But through this we also find strength, courage, independence, and new beginnings. I believe every widow deserves to live a life happily even after loss! And how do you do that? Widow Your Way!

So, if you enjoy a slightly dark sense of humor, and are looking for a little laughter and encouragement, I invite you to laugh with me or at me each week as I share my journey through widowhood, surviving multiple losses, living with a rare cancer, a path to self-discovery, and dating in hopes to find love again.

After all, Love is not dead… Just my husband.
