Carmen Ordonez is our guest this week on the podcast! She lost her husband Fernando in October 2015 after a battle with cancer. She was left to raise their young son, Andy on her own.

In our interview Carmen and I chat about:

~ Faith keeping her going as a caregiver

~ Balancing grieving and parenting...when is a good time to cry?!

~ Having hope that everything will be okay in the end and surrendering to what life brings you

~ Learning to be content on your own.

~ How becoming a widow changes your perspective

~ How she found love again and started a family with her now-husband, Julio

~How long-distance dating can actually be a good thing!

~ How she's been able to connect with other widows through social media.
