Redefining Widowhood

Redefining Widowhood was created after the sudden death of my husband in 2018. At the time I was 38 and our daughters were 4 & 7.

Now at 46, I’m still becoming, still rebuilding, and still learning how to live well after loss.

I’m Carmen Andrea—a widowed homeschool mom, certified grief counselor, woman of faith, and a woman figuring out what this next chapter of life looks like.

Here, I share the real-life journey of becoming again after loss: faith, healing, motherhood, wellness, rediscovering joy, getting out of my comfort zone, rebuilding, and all the messy, beautiful, ordinary moments in between.

This isn’t about staying stuck in what happened.

It’s about discovering who you are after it happened—and giving yourself permission to LIVE again.

Welcome to Redefining Widowhood. This is life after. ❤️
