Podcasts about widowers

In June 2016, Karen Ristevski vanished from her home. Her husband, Borce, told their daughter she had gone for a walk and never returned. For months, police and family searched in vain. Then, in February 2017, hikers stumbled upon her skeletal remains in a quiet nature reserve. Police pieced together CCTV footage and phone records, leading to Borce’s arrest. He pleaded guilty to manslaughter in 2019, after prosecutors were unable to prove intent. Now, 7NEWS Investigations Editor Alison Sandy is digging deeper, not just into Karen’s case, but into a disturbing pattern: women whose deaths could have been prevented or discovered earlier, had the warning signs of escalating intimate partner violence been recognised sooner.

What do you do when life hits you with every curveball imaginable—hearing loss, heartbreak, grief, and single parenthood—all before 40?In this powerful episode of Dancing in the Discomfort Zone, I talk with AJ Coleman, (https://keepthosefeetmoving.com) widower, single dad, financial crime fighter, and author of Keep Those Feet Moving. His story is equal parts heartbreak, humor, and hard-won wisdom about what it really takes to keep going when life feels impossible.After losing his wife to brain cancer just a year after their daughter was born, AJ had every reason to give up. Instead, he made a choice—to keep moving forward, one step at a time. From rebuilding his faith on a mountain in Israel to finding peace through purpose, AJ's story is a blueprint for resilience that's as practical as it is inspiring.He opens up about his journey through grief, anxiety, and self-discovery, and how learning to feel his emotions, not fight them, helped him heal. He's also redefining masculinity through emotional intelligence and connection, proving that strength and vulnerability go hand in hand.What You'll Hear AboutHow to find forward motion when life stops you in your tracksThe healing power of action—and why grief hates momentumWhy emotional intelligence isn't weakness (it's strategy)How men can support each other through openness, not silenceA simple trick to reframe any challenge: the “five-minute, five-hour, five-year” ruleAJ's story reminds us that resilience isn't about bouncing back.  It's about building forward. You can't control the losses, but you can control the legacy you build from them.

Paul leaves Timothy behind in Ephesus to help a struggling church get back on track. One of the many issues is widows. Who is supposed to be taking care of the widows and what constitutes a widow that can be helped? Are their stipulations? What does Paul have to say about the younger widows? What about the widow who decides she isn't going to be devoted to God and just wants to liver her life the way she sees fit? We dive into all of this and more in this podcast!

In today's podcast, we start to cover 1 Timothy 5 where Paul is writing Timothy to give him instructions for the church in Ephesus. In chapter 5, Paul deals with widows and how they are to be taken care of. Is it the church's responsibility to take care of widows? We go back to the Old Testament and see what God had to say about widows back then and the laws He gave to the people through Moses and some examples of how God used widows to usher in the Messiah!

On 10.3.2025 at 8 PM Eastern we will be discussing the book, The widower’s wife: a thriller by Cate Holahan DB128362. The facilitator for this meeting will be LeDon: ledonb@outlook.com. My review: The widower’s wife: a thriller DB128362 is an intriguing thriller that grabbed hold of me from the start and wouldn't let me go. Ana Bacon is a wife and mother. Her husband, Tom Bacon, is struggling under the weight of financial troubles. Then he takes out a five-million-dollar life insurance policy on Ana, with a double indemnity clause.01 Then, shortly later, during what should have been a romantic cruise, Ana goes overboard. Her body was never recovered. Was it a tragic accident? A heartbreaking suicide? A cold-blooded murder? Or… Was it something else? That's when Ryan steps in. He is an insurance investigator with a sharp eye, and a tough refusal to settle for easy answers. As he investigates, he begins to uncover secrets, lies, and a marriage that may not have been what it appeared. Each chapter leads you closer to the truth, but the truth keeps shifting. The author builds tension, weaving a web of secrets, and shifting timelines that keep you guessing. The story moves between past and present, between Ana's voice and Ryan's search, tightening the suspense with each move. If you enjoy thrillers where nothing is quite what it seems, The Widower's Wife is a book you will want to read.

The uninterrupted and uncommon prosperity which has hitherto attended you makes this stroke doubly distressing. From your youth you seem to have enjoyed the peculiar care of Providence. Though early deprived of the watchful care of an excellent father, you found friends who almost supplied the place of a father; who not only provided for you bodily needs—but took care of your education; and I do not know that your advantages could have been greater, had your good father continued to live. And since you have become a man, and entered into that course of life which you were permitted to choose for yourself, I know of no one, in the same line, who has been more successful in his pursuits, or who has been able to conciliate more effectually the public favor. Indeed, until this sad event in a moment dashed the cup of worldly prosperity, you might be said to have been like a favorite child, dandled on the knee, and exposed to no crude blasts of adversity.

In this episode, I talk with author Jac Filer about the writing of his newly-released memoir, The Widower and the Washer. Listen in as we talk about how this memoir came about and how Jac decided on the reader and central message for the book. We also talk about some of the challenges in writing a memoir, the importance of both a writing community and a spiritual community, and knowing when it's OK to go against the grain of typical writing advice.Jac took up writing as a second career in 2020. He built his skills through freelance work, mostly writing devotionals and articles for Christian websites and media, using skills and knowledge he had gained from serving as a small group leader and lay preacher. Since then, he's centered his writing on his own projects, which include an Advent devotional, a novel, and a newly-released memoir.Places to find Jac:* Website* Instagram* FacebookDisclaimer: I believe in and approach life (and writing) from a distinctly evangelical Christian perspective, but some of my guests may not.

PODCAST INTRO: I enjoyed my time with guest, Liz Fiedler Mergen. She's a remarried widow, mother of 2 daughters and has a multi-layered business strategy that encompasses several businesses. To me, it is all rooted and balanced with her fearless entrepreneurial creativity. Liz and I agree that grief changes you in countless ways and as much as we may want things to go back to the way they were, they never will. How can they? We've lost a significant portion of our life. Liz and her first husband, Ryan met when she was 22, fell in love and married in 2014. They wanted a family and were blessed with their first daughter. But sadly, they would only have 6 1/2 years together. Ryan, at 39 years of age unexpectedly passed away at home, alone on his treadmill. To add more trauma to her shattered heart, Liz discovers that she's pregnant one day after Ryan's funeral. Not traumatized over being pregnant, but heartbroken that Ryan will never meet his daughter, nor will she meet her daddy and being a single parent was never in her life plans. One of the significant motivators of transformation for Liz was the realization that she could stay bitter or get better. She chose, get better. She engaged the hard questions, evaluated the cost of living angry and despite the pain, she pushed forward to discover that she isn't afraid to draw new boundaries, set new standards and start new businesses. She's exploring life, options, opportunities and breaking ground (personally/professionally) in countless ways. Liz has an encouraging perspective on finding her way through the pain, embracing new revelations of who she is as she grows through the various challenges and pain points with personal discoveries in all the many facets of her life. Listen in to find out that widowhood is not the final chapter in her story, my your story and even your story. Liz's example gives us the courage to discover that there is even more to life because God is the author of our stories. He always has a plan and fulfilling your purpose has only begun. You've heard me say many times before…keep your eyes on God because He's writing a much bigger love story, an overarching love story with you as the unique person He created you to be and Liz, with the life she is choosing to cultivate is a beautiful example of that.

The day after his funeral, I found out I was pregnant again.  Widowed and pregnant at 31 years old, I spent the first six months in a state of rage and anger, continuously growing more upset when people treated me like either a fragile flower or a bomb about to explode. After months of therapy, I learned to focus on the intention behind people's words rather than get upset when they didn't approach a situation how I wanted them to. Grief can be isolating, but we grievers can't shut out everyone who says or does the “wrong thing”. One day, I decided to focus on the intention behind the sometimes poorly delivered sentiments because I realized if I ended every relationship when someone said the wrong thing, I would not have any friends left. I was glad they did not know what I was going through. Every day I wake up and say to myself, "I'm not going to waste the day being angry. That's not fair to Josh." It takes so much work. I know that anger is a normal part of grief. I can't control the way the world treats grievers, but I can control how I respond. My podcast, instagram account, book club, and other resources are all devoted to helping it be easier for others to grow through grief.

Do you think it's impossible to find love again after losing your spouse? You will want to hear Becca's story this week!Becca's journey through sudden widowhood, parenting three children (each with unique stories of their own), rebuilding her life, and eventually finding love again is both humbling and inspiring.She speaks candidly about the reality of life after loss: solo parenting, making impossible decisions, and waking up in a new “normal” that never feels quite right. Despite feeling fiercely independent, Becca learned to let others in—both as support and, eventually, as friends and new family members.Here are three key takeaways from the episode:Be Vulnerable Enough to Ask for (and Accept) Help: Even someone as independent as Becca struggled to accept support. But she found that when she clearly listed what she needed—whether it was tree removal or meals—her network showed up in amazing ways. Giving others clear, simple ways to help makes a huge difference for everyone!Community & Connection are Non-Negotiable: Attending a widow's conference with Never Alone Widows seemed morbid and overwhelming to Becca at first—but it turned into a lifeline. She eventually created her own thriving widows group, reminding us all that “you're not alone.” Just one conversation or gathering can spark healing and friendship, even for those who think group support isn't their thing.New Beginnings Don't Negate Previous Love: Through patience, honesty, and intentional blending, Becca opened herself to a new relationship and family while continuing to honor the legacy of her late husband and everything they built together. It's a powerful reminder that it's possible to both grieve and embrace joy, sometimes at the same time. Becca's experience is a testament to resilience, compassion, and the beauty that can emerge from saying “yes”—even when it feels impossible.Becca's Instagram: @thewidowswalkTo join our 60 Days Of Summer Healing Quest For Widows and Widowers and GET YOUR FREE downloadable progress tracker, go to https://www.widow180.com/healingquest  Be sure to join our Facebook group, Widow 180 The Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/312036956454927Also follow us on Insta: https://www.instagram.com/widow_180/Check us out on YouTube at Widow 180: The Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-DK_dl31qMilJ5cE6t9MVQFor more blog posts and resources go to www.widow180.comQuestions?

For whom the bell tolls.

#281 What do you do when everything that once defined your life disappears, and you're left with a blank page you never asked for? In this unforgettable episode, I sit with a widower navigating life after profound loss. For 31 years, he was a husband, a caregiver, a provider. Now, Spirit offers him something else: a chance to finally become who he truly is.

If you've ever had to start over, question who you are, or face freedom you didn't ask for, this episode is for you. What's Inside This Episode?  A soul-level exploration of life after loss and the freedom no one prepares you for  Sacred messages from Spirit affirming his identity as an artist, guide, and intuitive A personalized numerology reading that reveals his deeper calling and untapped gifts  Reflections on love, reinvention, and what it means to be fully seen  The power of community, creativity, and choosing self-expression over survival Loved This Episode?
