Dating After Death

Today’s guest, Dr. Brooke Weinstein, and I talk about her marriage to Jonathan, the struggle they faced as a couple, and the sickness that ended up claiming his life.  Then we talk about the transition into dating, finding an aligned partner who is different from her spouse, and the empowerment she feels as a ”widow.”

Some things will be changing around here, and I want to give you the update.  Plus, it is about time to finally reveal my identity and combine the multiple sides of my life and projects into one.  So... This show is hotsed by me, Tiffany, and I can be found on Instagram over @rebuilding.joy where I talk about widowhood, joy, solo-parenting, travel, and travel-hacking.  I hope you’ll join me over there as my kids and I head out on a one-year trip around the world.  Also, all future Widows in the Wild trips will be hosted through that page and in collaboration with other creators like Dana  @forcedjoyproject.

You can check them out here!    They are also very close friends and have been taking two very different approaches to dating after losing their partners.  Listen along as Lisa and Ilana share their experiences and highlight for us the beauty of widow-friends.    Today’s guests, can be found on Instagram @widowisafiveletterword   Too Soon is a new romantic comedy that tackles the underrepresented journey of falling in love again after death.

Lauren and I are both in relationships that have spanned more than a year long and have been through breakups and reconnections. Today we’re talking about the bumps we’ve encountered along the way as well as some of the things we’ve learned from these situations.  New love is exciting, and it’s also complicated.  Listen along as we dive into some of the trickier parts of dating after death.

In this episode, my guest and I talk about the loss of her husband, and then how she met up with an old friend while visiting Germany and sparked an unexpected romance. We talk about how they are making it work across continents and time zones, and what their plans are moving forward. We also briefly touch on what Colombian culture has to say about widows in general, and the expectations around finding love again.     Enjoy this wonderful story and interview!   If you are interested in diving deeper into the Dating After Death community, you can join us over at the Patreon.
