Wonderful Widows
by Siobhan Rae and Angela Johnson
This is a podcast for widows and widowers in their middle years, 50-75+. We are wanting to reach out to those who have lost their partners and who feel maybe somewhat alone with their grief. The podcast was inspired by the formation of a widows' group which demonstrated how wonderful it can feel to speak with other people in the same situation , to be able to express whatever feelings are around. We have realised that everyone's experience of grief is different, but there are some commonalities. Hopefully, those who are widowed or know they are soon to be widowed will find supportive and helpful.
