About this listen
In this powerful and deeply moving episode, Rebecca Adams shares her story of losing her husband unexpectedly, just days into their marriage and how that profound grief planted the seed for something bigger.
From navigating the weight of widowhood to co-founding First Light Widowed Support, Rebecca talks openly about the healing power of connection, the importance of community, and how she’s helping other young Australian widows feel seen and supported.
This is an episode about transformation, leadership through loss, and how showing up for others can also be a path to healing and hope.
Together, Caroline and Rebecca discuss:
- Navigating early widowhood and the silence around young grief
- Finding Camp Widow in the US, and how it changed everything
- Building First Light: turning grief into action
- Supporting others while still healing yourself
- What young, widowed people need that the system often misses
- Advice to those early in grief and what gives her hope now
“Don’t let the sadness of your past or the fear of your future, ruin the happiness of your present”
