About Widow 180 The Podcast with Jen Zwinck
When you become a widow, the heartache can be overwhelming. You feel lost. You feel broken. You feel alone. And you find yourself trying to pick up the pieces of your life and function. But I believe that every widow has the capacity to endure, that every widow has the power to overcome and the determination to create a new life filled with meaning and purpose. The Widow 180 Podcast is about turning tragedy, loss and fear into strength and creativity and a new passion for life. It's about self-reflection and realizing that we only have this one precious life to live and that a new life and a new you is achievable.Each week I will be interviewing widows, incredible survivors of loss. These women have taken the lessons they've learned and the insights they've gained and used them to grow and transform themselves. Some have started businesses, went back to school, run marathons, lost 100 pounds, and moved across the world! They made a choice not to be held down.How did they do it? How did they get through their grief? What's their secret? What lessons can we learn from them that will transform our own lives? How can we write our own story because our story isn't over yet? How can we begin our Chapter 2? I hope that you are as inspired by these women as I am. And maybe hearing even just one story will be life-changing for you.

292. Finding Light After Loss: Optimism & Grief After A Spouse Dies
Published 26 Oct 2026 · Transcript excerpt
[…] It's just a thought that good things will still come in the future. And research on bereavement suggests that this kind of positive outlook can be a real support as you heal. Psychologists and grief experts often describe healthy grieving as kind of this oscillation. It's a back and forth. You know, some moments you want to face the loss head on. You cry and you remember and you miss them so much. It takes your breath away. And then other moments you step away from the pain. You go and run errands. You know, you watch a silly show on TV. You get your mind off of things. You laugh at something that a friend says, and then maybe you feel guilty about that for laughing. […]
