Welcome to 'The Widows That Wine Together' podcast where we share stories of hope, resilience, and transformation after loss. For this episode I am joined by a truly inspiring guest, Jacqueline Bussie. Three years ago, she faced the unimaginable loss of her husband. Since then, she’s embarked on a journey of rediscovery, and in the last year, she’s taken a bold step forward—'showing up' to life in ways she never imagined. From trying new activities to embracing transformative experiences, her story is one of courage and restoration. Let's dive into her journey of loss, growth, and the power of living fully in the present.

Welcome to The Widows That Wine Together podcast where we explore the complexities of grief and the ways we can grow through loss. Today, we’re diving into a crucial topic: grief literacy. My guest, Julie Martella, is a self-proclaimed ‘grief literacy crusader,’ passionate about helping others understand what grief literacy is and why the words we use matter. In this episode, we will explore how we can all be more mindful and sensitive in our conversations with those who are grieving. Together, we will unpack the power of language and how it can either support or unintentionally hurt someone navigating loss.
