Podcasts about widows

Over the next five Tuesdays we're holding our own mini literature festival. We've delved deep in the archive to find some of the very best authors we've spoken to over the past seven years, and what an icon we have to kick it off! After a successful career as an actor Lynda La Plante became intrigued by the production process of television drama and began writing treatments, ideas for potential shows that were, well, very much her own. Although most were rejected, one was praised as utterly brilliant. By 1983, her six-part series Widows premiered and became the highest rating series of the early 1980s. Following the show's success, she established herself as a highly sought-after crime writer with women at the heart of her stories, and the release of her debut novel in 1987 quickly established her as a critically acclaimed best-selling author to boot, paving the way for a series of hit books that followed in rapid succession. By 1991, she hit new heights and broke new ground with the premiere of the world-renowned Prime Suspect. A detective drama starring Helen Mirren as DCI Jane Tennyson, which went on to win numerous BAFTAs, Emmys and Golden Globes over the course of its seven seasons and made Helen Mirren a bona fide global superstar. It's no surprise that in 2008 she was awarded a CBE for her services to literature, drama and charity. is a member of the Crime Thriller Award Hall of FameWe'll be back on Thursday with a brand new episode.

Do you ever feel like you're just going through the motions? Like you're functioning, but not really living? If you're nodding your head, you're not alone. In fact, this feeling is so common among widows that I've given it a name: the grief plateau. It's that space where you're stable enough to function, but your future feels uncertain and life doesn't quite feel like you'd like it to. You might be back at work, taking care of your family, and managing day-to-day tasks, but inside, something feels... missing. If you're ready to take that first step, tune in this week as I share three essential keys to help you get unstuck and move beyond this plateau.Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://www.coachingwithkrista.com/335

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!

SUMMARY: - Guest, Author and speaker Debora Coty shares how to find joy amid pain, drawing from deep personal losses and decades of ministering to women. - Writing journey: Her Too Blessed to Be Stressed brand unexpectedly grew to 40+ books/products with 2M+ copies sold worldwide; new devotional Bless Your Heart focuses on daily encouragement. - “Papa God”: She uses the intimate, biblical sense of Abba (Papa/Daddy) to help women experience God's unconditional love beyond imperfect earthly-father images. - Faith in crisis: Six miscarriages triggered a two-year spiritual shutdown; daily praying through the Psalms—starting with “angry” psalms—slowly reopened her heart to God's presence. - Recent trials: Multiple family deaths, job loss, knee replacements, a spouse's cancer, and a 5-year legal battle to protect her grandchildren—culminating in unexpected, miraculous breakthrough. - Joy vs. happiness: Happiness depends on circumstances; joy is a chosen, steady confidence in God's unchanging character that can coexist with grief. - Tools for resilience: Gratitude (Philippians 4:6–7), worship/music, nature, Scripture, intentional fun and laughter, and noticing daily “grace notes” (small signs of God's care). - “BOGO blessings”: Inspired by 1 Peter 3:9—when you bless others, you “be one, get one,” receiving blessing as you give it. - Anchoring Scriptures: Philippians 4:6–7 (peace covenant), Psalm 46:1 (ever-present help), Psalm 147:3 (heals the brokenhearted). - Invitation: Join her BFF (Blessed Friends Forever) community for mutual prayer, encouragement, and practical faith; final charge—keep seeking God's presence with perseverance.   PODCAST INTRO: If you've ever wondered how joy can possibly coexist with grief, today's conversation is for you. I'm joined by beloved author and encourager Debora Coty—creator of the Too Blessed to Be Stressed series, with over two million copies in print worldwide. She and I had a chance to connect for the podcast while she was visiting family in the Smokey Mountains and Debora brought her signature warmth, humor, and hard-won wisdom to help us find God's presence in life's most painful seasons. We talk about the difference between happiness and true, resilient joy; how scripture—especially the Psalms and Philippians 4:6–7—anchors us when our faith feels shaken; and the “grace notes” God sprinkles through our days when we learn to look for them. Debora opens up about profound losses—miscarriages, family heartbreak, health challenges, and a long, exhausting court battle—and how waiting on God can still lead to breathtaking redemption. You'll hear practical tools to refresh a weary spirit: gratitude that changes the atmosphere, worship that invites God's presence, nature that whispers His care, and yes—laughter—as a catalyst for joy. Debora also shares about her new devotional, Bless Your Heart, and invites you into her BFF—Blessed Friends Forever—community for prayer, connection, and ongoing encouragement. Let's listen in as Debora shares her message of joy, hope and encouragement. As soon as she starts talking you know immediately that's she's an encourager at heart maybe it's because she exudes the joy of the Lord…and because of that joy, I think you'll be surprising to hear all that she's been through and yet she still keeps leaning on Jesus for His joy and strength.

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!

In this powerful episode of Talk With Silje, I'm thrilled to sit down with the fearless feminist writer, filmmaker, and activist Vaishnavi Sundar for an unfiltered conversation that dives deep into the intersections of identity, ideology, and women's autonomy. As a clinical psychologist, I must confess I feel a profound sense of shame about how my professional community has often failed to critically engage with these issues, too often aligning with ideological trends over evidence-based practice. Vaishnavi, an independent Indian filmmaker known for her bold critiques of gender identity ideology and its global impact, joins me to share her groundbreaking work amplifying silenced female voices.We unpack her documentary, Behind the Looking Glass, the first to spotlight "trans widows"—women whose partners transitioned, leaving emotional devastation. With raw testimonies from women like Jo Bartosch and Genevieve Gluck, and insights from experts like Helen Joyce and Derrick Jensen, it exposes the silence around these victims amid celebrated transition narratives.We also dive into her series, Dysphoric: Fleeing Womanhood Like a House on Fire, a poignant exploration of gender dysphoria's roots in misogyny, corporate commodification of womanhood, and Western ideology's spread to India. Through animations, music, and voices of clinicians, detransitioners, feminists, and parents, it traces why young girls seek irreversible transitions to escape patriarchal pressures.At the core is Vaishnavi's fight against “wokism,” a progressive ideology she argues erodes women's protections by prioritizing self-identified gender over biological realities, often harming girls, families, and free speech. She shares her journey from surviving abuse in India to facing protests and censorship in the UK. As a psychologist, I see trauma, cognitive dissonance, and social contagion at play, and I'm troubled by my field's reluctance to engage critically due to fear of controversy.► DONATIONSPayPal:USD: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted...GBP: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted...EURO: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted...NOK: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted...Bitcoin lightning address: psykologsilje@bb.noWise-donation links:20 Euro: https://wise.com/pay/r/pPHY8hm4QyBtX9U50 Euro: https://wise.com/pay/r/PAfwTGpHxpvcZE4100 Euro: https://wise.com/pay/r/H2CTSRoVZsQ0nEs20 USD: https://wise.com/pay/r/eq5HkKCbyqYjJN850 USD: https://wise.com/pay/r/qvK_R6g66h6bfIw100 USD: https://wise.com/pay/r/S_jCHDuABVLchZoVipps-paymens: 806513► CHANNELS* YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@SnakkMedSilje* Substack: https://open.substack.com/pub/psykologsilje► SOME* Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/psykologsilje?igsh=MW84MDE0MWplc2FwbA==* TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@psykologsilje?_t=8oc3HBC1r4z&_r=1* Twitter: https://x.com/Silje_Schevig► CHAPTERS00:00 - Start02:50 - Goals and Impact of "Behind the Looking Glass"04:02 - The Concept of Trans Widows and Family Trauma05:37 - Personal Experiences Filming the Documentary10:04 - Domestic Abuse and Societal Silence11:56 - Inspiration Behind the Film and Connection to "Dysphoric"19:59 - Reasons Women Stay in Abusive Marriages23:20 - Autogynephilia28:00 - Listening to womens trauma stories33:40 - Vaishnavis childhood in Chennai39:00 - Self-Doubt and Turning to Feminism45:00 - Feminism in India and Norway01:03:48 - Dysphoric01:26:07 - Social Contagion01:27:04 - Parallels to Eating Disorders and Puberty Blockers01:28:46 - Comparing to Lobotomy01:32:42 - Media's Role and Societal Blindness01:35:00 - Lime Soda Films01:37:22 - Challenges from Gender Ideology Criticism01:39:02 - Celebrating Women's Work and Future Plans► REFERENCESVaishnavi's homepage: https://vaishnavisundar.com/ The dysphoric series: https://limesodafilms.com/dysphoric/Behind the looking glass documentary: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Frffv2sB8zE&t=12s

Greg Dullum and I have known each other for 60 years going back to Minneapolis/St. Paul days of old.  We discuss his continuous newsletter Sabbath Scoop that he has produced in all this time.  Also we discuss his recent article "The Widows Might."   Greg is an elder in the United Church of God serving in Cape Girardeau, Missouri and can be reached at greg.dullum@yahoo.com.

In today's gospel, we have before us a persistent woman and a JudgeAt one level this is a story about why persistence, especially persistence in prayer, is something that is worth pursuing.And it's also about a widow. Widows in the Bible are held out for our special attention, along with orphans and strangers.We also have the story of Jacob from Genesis.Jacob's struggle appeared to be with Esau and his parents, but his struggle is really with God. This is not just sibling rivalry, which we find in every family. This is something more profound. This is a story for those for whom life is a battle, for whom resolution never fully comes but is only ever experienced as a limp.

In this heartfelt episode of the Hot Widows Club, Crystal and Allie return to the mic after a busy hiatus. They share personal stories of family adventures, including a bear encounter in Colorado, and reflect on the challenges and joys of parenting through grief. The conversation touches on the importance of community, the healing power of sports, and the journey of finding balance in life. Join them for an honest and uplifting discussion about love, loss, and resilience. / The Hot Widows Club Podcast chronicles Crystal & Allie's grief journey, navigating a life they didn't choose. Widows who are tired as hell from raising kids, wiping asses, making decisions & being both parents; if you know, you know. Speaking freely about why being a widow sucks, they are simply pining for the love of their lives to come through the door one more time. Madly in love with their dead husbands, the duo fills the conversation with humor, life lessons, & a path forward. Yes, they're smoking hot, yes, this is funny, yes, they swear, & yes, they're sadder than you could imagine.

Today's sermon is for Pentecost 19 (C) and is titled Widows. It was written by the Rev. Amy Richter and read by the Rev. Danáe Ashley.

Imagine being part of a group that no one ever wants to join – a community born from loss, but one that becomes a lifeline. On this episode of The Progress Report, running in time for War Widows Day on 19th October, Tash Taylor sits down with war widows Jenny Ware, Lynne Boyd and Wendy McKean, who have turned grief into friendship, laughter, and resilience. Through candid stories, they reveal how shared experiences of military loss forge bonds that help navigate grief, isolation, and life's challenges. From the “Friendship Line” connecting widows across the country to “Sad Sunday” lunches, rural support networks, and acts of everyday care, these women show how community and companionship sustain them. They share laughter, tears, and invaluable life lessons – on honouring loved ones, embracing life after loss, enjoying simple pleasures, and showing respect and empathy to others. Their stories are a testament to courage, connection, and living fully despite adversity. The Progress Report. New voices. Real stories. Big shifts. Enjoy the podcast, The Progress Report team

Since October 7th, Israel has faced an unimaginable surge in loss—over 780 children and 330 widows added in just months.Shlomi shares the heartbreaking story of families left behind, including pregnant widows giving birth without their husbands, young children growing up without fathers, and the long-term challenges Israel's bereaved families face. More than statistics, these are stories of resilience, faith, and community.For Christians and people of faith, this interview is a reminder of the Biblical command to care for widows and orphans and an urgent call to stand with Israel in her time of need.

This Kenyan Missionary Trip 2025 Update will hopefully inform you about our two-month's work here in Kenya. Since we've been here, much work has been completed on behalf some of the widows of Kehancha and Kisii, all of which I detail in this update for you. Nevertheless, there remains so much more to do in the remaining 3-1/2 months we're here. We invite you to take a listen and hopefully you will be led to support this ministry to help lift the souls of some of Kenya's most disenfranchised and discarded individuals: the widows. Torah instructs us to not neglect either the widow or the orphan. Thus, it is our job as Messianics/Nazarene Israelites to do our best to tend to them and help them overcome their plight. qumranfamilyfoundation.org Shalom.

Episode 344: How to Care For Orphans and Widows   Recognize that you have widows and /or orphans in your church and community. Single Moms (and single dads) Caring For Widows Be intentional. Assign specific people to serve specific widows. Call them. Send cards. Help them with home and auto repairs. Visit and take meals. Give them a hug. Hold their hand. Widow and widower banquets Caring for Orphans Encourage church members to become foster parents. (Example: Amy in Yuma asked God for a sign) Support foster families How many children in America need foster homes? Support Christian children's homes. Don't just assume that the government is going to take care of orphans. Volunteer. Raise funds. Consider mentoring programs Example: The Buzzards (little brothers).

What do you say to someone who's just lost the love of their life? Is it better to stay quiet for fear of saying the wrong thing, or is silence actually the most painful response of all? In this deeply moving episode of Financially Ever After Widowhood, Stacy Francis sits down with Amy Woody, Director of the Widows Program at Stand in the Gap - and a widow herself - to talk about what real support looks like. Amy opens up about her own journey of losing her husband suddenly at 36, raising her young daughter, and discovering her calling to help other widows. Together, they explore the words and actions that truly matter when someone's world has been turned upside down. You'll hear them discuss: Why saying something is always better than saying nothing, even if it's simply “I'm so sorry” The harm of avoiding the “elephant in the room” and how acknowledging loss brings comfort Practical, concrete ways to help - from mowing the lawn to dropping off paper goods - that make a real difference The importance of building trust early so that widows feel safe enough to ask for support when they need it most How sharing memories and stories honors loved ones and helps keep their presence alive Amy's life motto of using your hurt to help others and making beauty from ashes — and how it can change the way we face our own challenges Resources Amy Woody on the Stand In The Gap | Facebook | LinkedIn | Email: amyw@sitgm.org | Phone number: 405-476-0165 Stacy Francis on LinkedIn | X(Twitter) | Email FrancisFinancial.com Reach out to receive a complimentary consultation!

Dr. Lynn Banis is an Expert Transformational Coach, Speaker, Grief Mentor, Founder and Owner of “Widows Rising Together,” a vibrant and compassionate community dedicated to empowering widows navigate their new realities.  Lynn helps widows transform loneliness into connection to create a vibrant and fulfilling new life as she supports them through their challenging new chapter of life so they can be assured they have truly transformed into their best self and life.  Lynn had her own grief experience, when she lost her mother, her younger brother, and her husband, all in a three-year time span. Feeling like the rug had been pulled out from under her, she found herself in a free fall. She discovered that grief isn't just sadness; it's disorienting. She explains that no number of degrees, education, or coaching experience could have prepared her for the depth of grief that hit her like a tidal wave and left her wondering if she would ever recover.  After months of struggling for months I struggled with pain, loneliness and lack of motivation to do anything, she began to put her education as a psychologist and years of coaching to use on herself. She Identified her self-limiting beliefs and changed them to empowering ones. Then she did the same for mindset and thought patterns.  She persisted in using various tools and techniques until she came out the other side of grief and built her new life.  It was at that moment of rebuilding that she truly stepped into her power and decided that I would help other grieving widows with their grief, their struggles, and their self-doubt into stepping-stones for something greater by creating a new life, a life that they love and a life worth living through connection, abundance, love, and self-worth.   Download this positive and informative episode with its powerful message of hope and healing, along with valuable tools and tips that all of us can apply to every aspect of our life to create a life of abundance, connection, and love.

The human brain has a remarkable ability to adapt to both positive and negative life changes, eventually returning us to a baseline level of happiness.    When your person dies, it can feel like your happiness baseline has been permanently lowered. Many widows worry they'll never experience the same level of joy or fulfillment they once knew. But here's what modern science tells us: your happiness is changeable through consistent, intentional practice.   Join me today to learn how hedonic adaptation works like an emotional thermostat that pulls you back to your normal happiness level, what keeps some people stuck at a lower happiness set point, and how savoring micro-joys interrupts hedonic adaptation and strengthens positive neural pathways.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://www.coachingwithkrista.com/326
