S03 - EP18 - Rachel Bourgham on widow anger, tacos and comment trolls
Description
In this episode of Widowed AF, Rosie Gill-Moss speaks with writer and journalist Rachel Bourgham, author of Widow Land. Rachel’s world changed in an instant when her husband, Colin, was killed in a cycling accident just blocks from their home. What followed was the brutal reality of sudden loss: raising a nine-year-old alone, navigating paperwork and blame, and trying to make sense of a future she never asked for.
Rachel talks openly about the strange mix of grief and survival—the shock, the humour that creeps in at the darkest times, and the moments of anger and tenderness that come with parenting through loss. She also shares how writing became her lifeline, and how love found its way back into her life without erasing the past.
This conversation is honest, unpolished, and deeply human. If you’ve ever wondered how to survive when the ground shifts beneath you, this episode is for you.
