Unspoken stories of grief, love and life as a widow
Less than five years after Caroline Winter married her “person” in an idyllic New Year wedding, the 37-year-old was facing the unimaginable – preparing for his funeral.
The Adelaide journalist and podcaster learned her “cheeky and hilarious” car enthusiast husband Richard had died of a heart attack when she went to meet him at a car rally, where he was taking part as a navigator.
Twelve years on, Caroline is now lending her expertise to national charity First Light Widowed Support, to produce a new podcost series, The Widow Diaries. A series that aims to share the often unspoken stories of grief, love, and life after loss as a young widow, allowing those who’ve experience it to “feel seen and heard”.
In this Sunday Telegraph article Caroline shares her inspiring story, along with First Light co-founders Rebecca Adams and Lauren Leslie Carr, and podcast guests Josh Clayton and Megan Daley.
