48: When You're a Widow and Grieving - Alexie Landry

Feb 3, 2020

It was Christmas Eve when Alexie Landry woke up to her deceased husband in bed; a moment, nobody is ever ready for, especially at the age of 35. But when you have a 16-month old to take care of, you just have to keep going.

What came after that – the grief, the mourning, the processing, the connections, the new-found love and romance, the light – could also never have been predicted. 

In this episode we discuss:

  • Alexie’s personal recount of the Christmas Eve she lost her husband
  • The ever-changing emotions that come with grief
  • Speaking to your kids about death
  • How Alexie’s daughter Adeline took the news of her father’s passing
  • The “widow club” that was born through the mourning and grieving process
  • How Lost + Found came to be (with Sarah Keast, Shannon Culver, Janice Tsao)
  • Dating as a widow 
  • How to support someone who’s grieving a loss 
  • What losing her husband has taught Alexie 
  • Personal recounts of losing their partners from Sarah, Shannon and Janice (the rest of the team at Lost + Found)
