Widow We Do Now?

Ep. 249 | Pennies From Heaven: Judy Malkin

September 02, 2025 • Anita and Mel

Meet our friend Judy. She became a widow in 2020 after losing her husband, an anthropologist with whom she shared years of adventure, including time living in Brazil. Now an empty nester, Judy has also faced the heartbreaking loss of her newborn granddaughter and other close family members in the years since. Through the grief, she has discovered unexpected signs of connection—like finding pennies at just the right moments—that remind her love endures beyond loss. Judy’s story weaves together resilience, memory, and the ways we carry our loved ones with us no matter where life takes us.
