Stay-at-Home Widow

Welcome to Stay-at-Home Widow, the podcast where two lifelong friends talk about rebuilding ourselves after the sudden and unexpected deaths of our husbands, and maneuvering the fuckery of grief.

We are Sharmane Fury and LaVonna. We have known each other since childhood, and our friendship has carried us through many seasons of life. Now, we are navigating an unexpected and painful new bond: both becoming widows within a short time of each other.

This is our space to talk honestly about what happens after the world you knew disappears. We talk about widowhood, friendship, identity, loneliness, anger, memory, laughter, survival, and the strange, messy, tender, sometimes absurd parts of grief.

Rooted in the experiences of Black and Brown women, Stay-at-Home Widow is not about “moving on.” It is about remaining, rebuilding, and learning how to live inside a life we did not choose.
