Julie Escalante Ortiz’- Author, Young Widow, Mother, Teacher, Musician- shares her unique story as a young widow with children. She shares the raw, relatable ways she dug her way out of the trenches and back to the land of the living. 
And then it hits her, “How will I even tell them that their father is dead? They don’t even know what ‘dead’ means!” Just thinking of the unending list of things Widows need to be done as “Mother and Father” to their children can leave the widow feeling smothered and breathless. Now is not the time for a novel; now is the time for a survival book/channel, because right now, that’s what the widow is doing—surviving!
