About this listen

In this moving chapter of Widow on Fire, Rose finds herself in London on Christmas Eve, carrying the heavy ache of grief into a holiday built for family and belonging. With her closest friend Bell pushing her into new beginnings—including a daring dating app—Rose stumbles into an unexpected connection at a Christmas buffet. There, she meets Ollie, a fellow traveller through grief whose honesty mirrors her own.

As they share stories of love and loss, Rose is faced with a tender choice: spend the night with Ollie, waking on Christmas morning with someone by her side, or walk into the frosted London streets alone, discovering her own strength in festivity, joy, and self-celebration.

This episode explores the collision of grief and desire, the loneliness of holidays after loss, and the fragile possibility of connection. Listeners are invited to vote on Instagram for the next step in Rose’s journey.
