No Widow Should Feel Alone: The Story Behind It's Lifey

What happens when life changes in a single moment? In this deeply moving episode of Heat Up Your Retreats, I sit down with Jennifer Newberg, founder of It's Lifey, to talk about grief, connection, and the unexpected calling that can emerge from life's most painful moments. In May 2024, while on a dream trip to Greece, Jen’s husband unexpectedly passed away from a heart attack. In an instant, she went from wife to widow — returning home alone and navigating grief, logistics, and the emotional weight of loss. But in the midst of heartbreak, Jen discovered something powerful: connection is lifesaving. That realization led her to create It's Lifey, a growing community designed to ensure that no widow has to face loss alone. In this conversation, we talk about: • Navigating the shock and loneliness of sudden loss • Why grief often feels isolating — even when people care • The importance of authentic conversations during hard seasons • How community helps us process pain and find our way forward • Why vulnerability creates deeper connection • How Jen turned her story into a mission to help others heal Jen also shares how she launched HopeHub, an online platform designed to support widows through connection, support groups, expert conversations, healing resources, and in-person experiences. This episode is for anyone who has experienced loss, walked through difficult life transitions, or wants to understand how community can transform grief into healing. Because while there may not be a playbook for life’s hardest moments, we don’t have to face them alone.
