Today’s episode is powerful, tender, and full of hope. I’m joined by Lori Apon, a widow, a single mom of eight, and now a grandmother to twenty! Lori shares her deeply personal story of walking through grief and the chaos of early widowhood, and how God’s promises sustained her through it all.

Here’s what you’ll hear in today's conversation:

Even in deep grief, Lori shares how clinging to God’s promises brought strength and comfort.
Building a community of mentors and support is crucial—especially for single parents navigating loss.
Lori reminds us that healing takes time, and grace for yourself is essential in the process.
Whether you’re walking through loss or supporting someone who is, your presence and encouragement matter more than you know.
