The Young Widow Podcast
by britanyrivera
A podcast designed for the young widower, the one struggling to figure out what “life” means without their person. The young widow that feels like she doesn’t belong in the widow group because she is at an earlier point in life. If you are a widow yearning for connection to other widows and trying to understand how to navigate life, this podcast is for you. Created by Britany Rivera, who became a widow and solo-parent at the age of 31. Feeling alienated from the world and at a different point in her life than her friends and family, she created this podcast to bring young widows together and to let them know what they are feeling is “normal” in grief.
