37. Author, Widow, And Podcaster Jenny Lisk Shares Her Story On Finding Her Voice

Jenny Lisk's entire world shut down and turned upside down with her husband, Dennis's sudden diagnosis of glioblastoma.  Within a few short months, Jenny became full time caregiver for Dennis, who lost his battle with brain cancer in January 2016.  Jenny documented the year from diagnosis until Dennis's death through Caring Bridge, an online blog/journal for families going through illness.  Jenny realized she needed extra help and support when it came to her 2 young children and their grief.  She started to compile a list of resources and felt a calling to share this information with other widows. She started her podcast, The Widowed Parent Podcast, where each week she interviews top grief experts, authors, psychologists,  and speakers who share their advice. Jenny recently published her first book called Future Widow: Losing My Husband, Saving My Family, and Finding My Voice.  You can reach Jenny at: www.jennylisk.com Other resources from this episode: Tips for widowed parents: https://jennylisk.com/top10 Dougy Center: https://www.dougy.org/ National Alliance For Grieving Children: https://childrengrieve.org/find-support Eluna Resource Center: https://elunanetwork.org/resources/ Join us on Facebook at Widow 180 Community and on IG: @widow_180   Be sure to join our Facebook group, Widow 180 The Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/312036956454927Also follow us on Insta: https://www.instagram.com/widow_180/Check us out on YouTube at Widow 180: The Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-DK_dl31qMilJ5cE6t9MVQFor more blog posts and resources go to www.widow180.comQuestions?
