S2:E2 When Life Breaks You Open: Grief, Suicide, and Finding the Courage to Start Again

from Momma Uprooted · host Emily Galus

In this deeply personal and courageous episode of Mama Uprooted, we hold space for the kind of grief most people are too afraid to speak aloud — the sudden loss of a husband to suicide, the wreckage left behind, and the quiet courage it takes to rebuild a life from the ashes.Our guest shares her journey as a young widow, navigating single motherhood, mental health, and the silence that often surrounds men's mental struggles. We explore how farm life, animals, faith, and raw perseverance helped her begin again. From losing friendships to finding new ones, from guilt to grace, and from numbness to new love — this is the story of what it means to truly start over when life doesn’t go as planned.Whether you're grieving, supporting someone who is, or simply learning to live again — this episode is for you.Shop: Account | Olive Tree PeopleFollow on Instagram: @mommauprooted
