Manage episode 509277371 series 3529637
In this heartfelt episode of Widowed 2 Soon, host Michelle sits down with special guest Natalie Polutta for an honest and hope-filled conversation about the early days and ongoing journey of widowhood. Natalie vulnerably shares her story of sudden loss, the trauma and shock she faced, and the ways that daily routines, faith, and community became steady anchors as she began to heal.
Together, they dive into practical steps for surviving the first weeks and months after losing a spouse—from navigating overwhelming paperwork to finding comfort in small daily rhythms like walks, exercise, and showing up to church even when it feels isolating. Natalie also opens up about raising young adult children through grief, rediscovering her place in church, and the unexpected path that led her to co-own a CrossFit gym with her daughter.
The conversation highlights the power of widow support groups, the value of grief coaching, and the strength that can be found in music and scripture during seasons of loss.
If you’re searching for hope after losing a spouse, this episode offers both encouragement and practical wisdom. It’s a meaningful listen for anyone looking to build new routines, connect with others who understand, and embrace a renewed sense of purpose on the journey through grief.
