Today's post is a column in which I answer reader questions. They are all different, but they boil down to one basic inquiry that I get all the time: "Is this a good idea?" Here's what I say when I get questions like this. dcwidow.com/ask-a-widow-is-t…

Replying to @kenanthompson
Your show’s focus on widowed fatherhood is so touching. I run a program for parents (widowedpaeent.org), and ‘Kenan’ resonates. New storyline: you join a support group for widowed Dads; lots of potential... Hit me back, I have loads of poignant and funny examples :)

Our friend, Carole Geithner, is re-releasing her fabulous book, “If Only.” It captures the nuances of AYA grief in a way that really speaks to this population. Highly recommended. carolegeithner.com/book

Do you ever wonder if you should be "over it" by now? I'm talking with Drs. Justin Yopp & Don Rosenstein about the magic of togetherness when it comes to grief. They started the @Widowed_Parent Program @UNC. Listen here: wavve.link/EverythingHappens

ANOTHER amazing podcast with @KatecBowler on #grief, loss, and the (research-driven) magic in moving from an “I” to a “WE” Thought of you @dkmayer52 and @ErinEKent #cancercare #caregiving katebowler.com/podcasts/just…

Its hard to focus on much other than COVID-19 these days, but here's a podcast link for those interested. The Dougy Center is a real leader in the field of childhood bereavement, it was great to have a chance to discuss our Widowed Parent Program. directory.libsyn.com/episode…

Planet Cancer was years ago, but I will never cease to be amazed at the power of connecting with others like you; who “get” you because they have been in the same boat. This powerful talk illustrates perfectly. ❤️

This TED talk about a widowed Dads group really resonated with me as a widowed mum especially the questioning about had the wrong parent died. I suspect lots of widowed parents question this at times. I know I have and that’s ok. – at Halesowen, England

I am trying to figure out how to parent as a widow. I'm also trying to figure out how to date as a widow. A few nights ago, I tried to multitask, and do both at the same time. dcwidow.com/my-name-is-marjo…

The thing about being a widow is that I know that people can die at any time. This means I worry more about my health than ever before. Today's post is about my health, but it's also about my dad and how he is showing me a path forward as a widow. dcwidow.com/superglue-it/
