Whether due to natural causes, tragedy, or the pandemic, I\u2019m sure we all know someone who has suffered loss this year. And one of the most significant losses a person can experience is the loss of a spouse, and sometimes when you\u2019re the close friend of a widow, you swoop in to help in the short term\u2026 but how do you continue to support your friend over the long haul? Sadly, what happens with many of us is that we don\u2019t know what to NOT say, and so rather than say or do the wrong things, we say nothing. We back off. We give space. But is the space helpful? Is it best if we don\u2019t mention the name of the spouse when we're together? Rather than google the answer to this, how about I introduce you to my guest on today\u2019s episode. Marina Mitchell is the Founder and Executive Director of Sacred Share, an organization created to assist the burdens of our sisters and girlfriends grieving the loss of their spouse and share with others the treasure that is walking alongside these widows in their pain. Marina comes from a humble background. Her parents were entrepreneurs and raised her and her siblings in Northern Northern California. You could say her life was sheltered, but after visiting one of her relatives in another country, Marina realized anything was possible! Listen to Marina\u2019s journey into the nonprofit sector and be inspired by this woman who learned how to walk with widows and now spends her life helping other women strengthen relationships after the death of a friend\u2019s spouse.
