Only A Widow Understands Another Widow

Hi, I'm Sarah.

That’s me – the widowed, only parent of two. I didn’t initially intend on going it alone, but here I am.

On April 26, 2014, I became a widow when my husband unexpectedly died, leaving me alone with our 2 1/2 year old son. I was only 37.

My identity was stripped away from me, and I didn’t have the support to help me grieve. My social circle couldn’t understand the immensity of my grief. My friends were just starting their families with their spouses - mine had just died. 'Till death we part wasn't supposed to be this soon.

It felt like I was the ONLY young widow. The only widows groups out there were for 60+ women whose children were grown - mine were 2 1/2 and not yet born. There was no one out there who understood was it was like to be a young widow and a suddenly solo parent.

My Life Goal Changed

It took me 4 years to find myself again. That's pretty typical for us widowed parents who are trying to juggle our new responsibilities while carrying the load of our own and our children's grief. It doesn't have to take that long for you.

I started grief coaching in 2018, to help other young widows to never feel alone. To help them know what they are going through is normal. To help them breathe, and have the tools and resources to move forward in their life.

Widow Coaching

Widowhood is more than grief. It's trying to find your new identity. Let's find it.

Being a solo parent is making all the big decisions without backup. It's managing your self-doubt doing it alone, while helping your children grieve. Work with me to find your confidence as a solo parent.

“Not only did Sarah help me out of the darkest time in my life, she helped me find my smile again. I will never be the same person as I was, but at least now I can accept the new me. From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU!”
