Widows Mentoring Widows Podcast Launches On WYSO

Three years ago, WYSO Podcasting 101 graduate, Patti G. suddenly became a widow, and soon other women who had lost their spouses came forward to share what they had learned about widowhood and offer friendship. This week we talked to Patti about her podcast, This is Gonna Hurt: Widows Mentoring Widows, which debuted just about two weeks ago to some pretty good response.  In this WYSO Weekend excerpt, Patti tells us how she talks to other widows about their experiences in the hopes of sharing stories, solidarity and advice with other women.
