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
