Widowed AF: Real stories of love, grief and beyond – With Rosie Gill-Moss

In 2018, Rosie Gill-Moss’s life changed forever. Her husband, Ben, died suddenly in a scuba diving accident, leaving her widowed at 37 with three young children. Overnight, she found herself in a world that seemed to have no roadmaps for the reality she faced. Conversations about grief felt shallow or filled with empty platitudes, and practical guidance was hard to find.

Rosie created Widowed AF because she knew others were out there, feeling just as lost and alone. She wanted a place where people could talk openly about grief, share their experiences, and find support without judgment or sugar-coating. What started as a way to process her own loss has grown into a global community, providing honest conversations about what it really means to lose someone you love.

Each episode of Widowed AF focuses on real-life stories, bringing in guests who share their unvarnished experiences with grief and loss. Topics include the practical side of widowhood—managing finances, raising grieving children, or navigating a new identity—as well as the deeply personal challenges of coping with anger, loneliness, and even the unexpected moments of joy. Rosie also invites professionals, advocates, and others who offer useful perspectives for listeners trying to rebuild their lives.

At its core, the podcast exists to show that while grief is deeply personal, it’s also a shared experience. Widowed AF isn’t about offering easy answers—it’s about helping people feel less alone and providing tools and stories that might help them along the way.

At just 24, Claire Thea found herself widowed and navigating the overwhelming world of grief while grappling with revelations she discovered about their relationship.

In this episode of Widowed AF, host Rosie Gill-Moss chats with Claire, who shares her journey after the sudden death of her husband, T, from a brain tumour.

Claire opens up about the emotional ups and downs of T's diagnosis, the challenges they faced together, and the unexpected twists that came to light during this tough time. She also shares her experiences with neurodiversity, including ADHD and anxiety, which shaped how she coped with everything happening around her.

Her story is a raw and honest look at widowhood, highlighting the unique ways neurodivergence can influence grief and relationships. Claire emphasises the importance of community support and the healing power of sharing your story, reminding us all that while grief can feel isolating, we’re not alone on this journey.
