In this episode of Golden Matters, Kerry interviews her mother, Judy Goletz, about the realities of grief, widowhood, and resilience after losing her husband to cancer after 40 years of marriage. Judy shares her experience as both caregiver and widow, from navigating the “widowhood effect” to the unexpected challenges of identity, family dynamics, and everyday life after loss. Their candid conversation offers valuable insights and comfort for anyone facing bereavement or supporting a loved one through it.
Golden Matters focuses on the Silent Generation (1928-1945) and Baby Boomers (1946-1964) and their caregivers to provide resources, best practices and a community to enable the spoken & unspoken needs of the aging population.
Within each story we explore Golden Matters’ key themes of finances, health/mobility, and finding purpose and identity later in life.
Thank you, Judy!
