Widowed Without the Title: Navigating Loss as an Ex-Spouse and Co-Parent

May 27, 2025

In the last episode you met Jim, my co-host and husband. Now, Jim is sharing his unique experience of navigating the emotions and responsibilities after his ex-wife, who he had a child with, passed away. 

There is no “title” for this unique situation in life. A widower… but without the title. 

We discusses the complexities Jim faced as an ex-husband and a remarried man losing the mother of his 3 children and the implications for our family. How the three older kids helped their younger step siblings through a path they had walked years prior. 

This episode aims to shed light on the varied forms of widowhood and the importance of supporting those dealing with such loss.

 

This is the NEW Widow, Wisdom & Wealth™ podcast for widows and widowers balancing career, family, and loss. Hear and learn from those thriving in career and parenthood after loss. Through heartfelt stories and practical advice, this podcast offers hope and guidance from those who have walked this path before you.

If your financial life feels unclear or uncertain, then listen to the episodes of this show to gain confidence and clarity.
