The Widowed Parent Podcast

Jenny Lisk

166 Episodes

Experiencing the profound loss of a spouse while navigating the intricate realm of "only-parenting" is a challenge unlike any other.

Remember, though, you’re not journeying alone. Jenny Lisk, who stepped into solo parenting following the devastating loss of her husband to brain cancer, established the Widowed Parent Institute to shine a light, extend a hand, and share vital resources. The Widowed Parent Podcast embodies that commitment, providing a mix of hope, practical wisdom, and shared experiences.

On The Widowed Parent Podcast, listeners will find:

  • Expert perspectives from the vanguard of grief and loss research, tailored distinctly for widowed parents.

  • Heartfelt stories from those who walked through childhood after the death of a parent, granting unique perspective and hope.

  • Candid conversations with widowed parents, unveiling both the strengths they've discovered and the hurdles they've faced.

Whether you're trying to connect with a young child's emotions, navigate the maze of teenage years, or simply seeking a community that truly understands, this podcast speaks directly to widowed parents of children at every stage, from infancy through college. Plug in during a peaceful walk, your daily commute, or in quiet reflection, and discover inspiration, empowerment, and a community that hears and understands.

Proudly presented by the Widowed Parent Institute, a beacon of practical guidance, invaluable resources, and steadfast support for mothers and fathers raising grieving children and teens.
