Heidi Carson Reflects on Widowed Parenting and Finding Meaning Through Rare Disease Advocacy

I had such a great discussion with Heidi Carson for this episode. Heidi is a fellow widowed parent, and she lost her husband, Chad, when their kids were 12 and 14 due to complications related to a rare telomere disease. I so appreciate Heidi talking with us because I believe that hearing other people’s stories helps us feel so much less alone. Listen for Heidi sharing how getting involved in volunteering and advocacy related to her husband’s disease has helped her in her grief, and how writing fiction has helped, too. -=-=-=-=- Thank you sponsors & partners: Help Texts - Grief support text messaging service.
