What if the ending you never wanted wasn’t the end at all? In this powerful episode of Hope Unlocked, Kristin Kurtz sits down with Bethany Spencer—remarried widow, mother of five, coach, and author—for a raw conversation about grief, lament, and reimagining life after loss. After losing her husband to cancer in just eleven months, Bethany shares how learning to lament with honest prayer opened space for healing without bypassing pain. We explore the biology of grief, including nervous system overload, disrupted sleep, and loss of focus, and how understanding trauma reduces shame. This episode offers practical wisdom on supporting others through loss and invites listeners navigating widowhood, trauma, or deep transition to soften grief and open their hands to new paths God may be forming.
