Welcome to Redefining Widowhood.
My name is Carmen Andrea Harris.
This space was created in 2019, shortly after the sudden death of my late husband and father of my children.
At the time, I was 38 and our daughters were 4 & 7.
Widowhood changed my life.
But it didn’t end it.
At 46, I’m still becoming, still rebuilding, still living.
This is the story of life after loss—not a story of staying stuck in grief, but of rediscovering yourself, your faith, your joy, your purpose, and the courage to live again.
⸻
Come along with me.
I’ll be sharing the real-life evolution of this next chapter:
Faith • Healing • Becoming • Motherhood • Wellness • Joy • Rebuilding • Life After Loss
No perfect formulas.
No pretending I’ve figured it all out.
Just a woman living, learning, growing, and becoming again.

Need support?
While Redefining Widowhood is primarily a space where I share my journey, as an Educator, M.A.T. and Certified Grief Counselor, I still provide professional counseling and emotional wellness support through Counseling With Carmen for women, children, and families.


Love made you a Wife.
Loss made you a Widow.
Life made you a Warrior.
Make a bold declaration of faith with Wife Widow Warrior tshirt.
