Join me, Rosie, as we explore the truths of widowhood, the raw and very real aspects that often go unspoken.
It is a window into the lives of humans who have encountered profound loss and yet have discovered strength, hope, and paths to new beginnings amid their grief.
Whether you’re walking this path yourself or seeking to understand and support others, this space is for you.
Together, we’ll discover the diverse experiences and shared humanity in the many faces of widowhood.
We share their stories, not just of grief and loss, but of the incredible endurance and moments of the clarity that can emerge from such deep personal tragedy.
In 2018, Rosie Gill-Moss lost her husband Ben in a diving accident, leaving her widowed at 37 with three children. Finding grief resources shallow and platitudes empty, she created Widowed AF—a podcast offering honest conversations about loss. Through guest stories and expert advice, the show covers practical challenges (finances, single parenting) and emotional realities (anger, loneliness, joy). From processing her own grief to building a global community, Rosie helps others feel less alone. The podcast provides tools and shared experiences for rebuilding life after loss.
In this episode, we have a heartfelt conversation with Eva Spiegel, who opens up about her journey through widowhood and the challenges of navigating life after loss. Eva shares her personal story of losing her husband, Terry, and how that experience reshaped her understanding of grief, parenting, and love. We explore the complexities of raising a child while dealing with profound sorrow, and Eva offers insights into how she and her son have built a strong bond through their shared experiences.
As we talk, we reflect on the importance of communication in families facing grief. How do we create a safe space for our children to express their feelings? What does it mean to find joy again after such a significant loss? Eva’s perspective on dating after loss is also enlightening, as she discusses the challenges and rewards of opening her heart to new relationships while honoring her past.
This episode is not just about grief; it’s about resilience, healing, and the connections we forge with others. We invite you to join us for this honest and relatable conversation that aims to resonate with anyone who has faced similar challenges. Whether you’re navigating your own journey of loss or simply seeking to understand the experiences of others, we hope you find comfort and connection in Eva’s story. Together, we can support one another and remind ourselves that while grief is a part of our lives, so is the potential for new beginnings.
