In this deeply personal episode of The Business of Widows, host Abigail Peterson sits down with her long-standing friend of more than 25 years, Tina Galaviz. Tina became a widow just 14 months before Abbie—a shared experience neither of them ever imagined would become part of their story.
Together, they reflect on how widowhood has reshaped their lives, challenged their sense of identity, and unexpectedly drawn them closer as friends. They speak candidly about the complexity of carrying the title of “widow,” the loneliness that can come with it, and the quiet strength found in being truly understood by someone who has walked a similar path.
This episode is an honest conversation about grief, friendship, and learning to trust God in spite of this life-changing experience.
