What does life look like after losing your partner?

In this deeply honest and emotional episode of the Mom-Life Podcast, I sit down with Erin—mom of two, middle school teacher, and widow—to talk about grief in its realest form.

Not the kind people expect.
Not the kind that fades quickly.
But the kind that reshapes every part of your life.

Erin shares her journey of losing her husband to cancer, navigating motherhood through heartbreak, and learning how to survive—and eventually live again—after unimaginable loss.

We talk about:
✨ What grief really feels like (and why it’s so misunderstood)
✨ Raising young children while grieving
✨ The role of faith and community in healing
✨ Therapy, mental health, and coping with overwhelming emotions
✨ The courage it takes to date again after loss
✨ Letting your heart grow without letting go

This conversation is raw, vulnerable, and filled with powerful perspective.

If you’ve ever experienced loss, supported someone who has, or wondered what healing truly looks like—this episode is for you.

💛 You are not alone. And there is still hope, even here.
