Redefining Widowhood

Redefining Widowhood is a faith-based encouragement ministry created for widows navigating life after loss.

This space exists to remind women that widowhood does not have to define the rest of their lives — and that healing, purpose, and joy are still possible.

Through reflections, teachings, and lived wisdom, Redefining Widowhood offers:

Spiritual encouragement
Honest conversations about grief and identity
Hope for women learning how to live again after loss

This ministry was birthed through personal experience and years of walking alongside women in grief. It is a place of community, compassion, and truth — not pressure, performance, or pretending.

Please Note: Redefining Widowhood is a ministry and message platform, not a counseling practice.

Founder Bio

Hi, I’m Carmen Andrea.

I’m a homeschool mama, former educator with a Master of Arts in Teaching, Certified Grief Counselor, and a Certified Inner Healing Practitioner — who was widowed at 38 with two young children.

Redefining Widowhood began as a place to share hope — not as someone who “figured it all out,” but as a woman faithfully walking her own healing journey.

This ministry will always be rooted in faith, compassion, and honesty.
