A podcast designed for the young widower, the one struggling to figure out what “life” means without their person. The young widow that feels like she doesn’t belong in the widow group because she is at an earlier point in life. If you are a widow yearning for connection to other widows and trying to understand how to navigate life, this podcast is for you. Created by Britany Rivera, who became a widow and solo-parent at the age of 31. Feeling alienated from the world and at a different point in her life than her friends and family, she created this podcast to bring young widows together and to let them know what they are feeling is “normal” in grief.

Hi, welcome to the Young Widow Podcast. I'm Britany, your host, and I'm happy you could join today for episode 26: Why We Keep Everything.
So I just came off of a conference weekend where I was speaking in Houston and this question came up by somebody that was attending the conference and it was in a different workshop than I was hosting.
And I jotted down in my notebook that I wanted to do a podcast on this as soon as possible, because I'm a 'why' person and what that means is that I wanna know why my brain does things. Why do I have these weird habits and grief?
And so if you're like me, I wanna explain the science behind why we keep everything after our person dies.
And there are three major things here that we're gonna talk about: memory connection, the dopamine factor, and then loss aversion.
And so with that, let's just jump in and I'm just gonna start from my perspective.
