UnSilence Grief Podcast with Marie Alessi, on Solo Parenting and Widowhood
Keep Those Feet Moving is honored to introduce best-selling author, Marie Alessi, who is also the host of the UnSilence Grief Podcast. Recently on her podcast, Marie and AJ recorded an episode focusing on the unique challenges that come up in solo parenting and widowhood. Recalling the intense moments when AJ lost his late wife, Cory, to brain cancer when his daughter was only a few months old, certain techniques to cope with traumatic life experiences are addressed together. Marie began her grief journey when her father passed away just days after she turned 20. Following a career in marketing, a 3-year break as a flight attendant travelling the world to meeting her husband and starting a family, Marie’s world was turned upside down again when her husband and love of her life, Rob, passed away in 2018 and she became a widow with two young boys. As her love legacy to Rob, Marie wrote and published her first book titled Loving Life After Loss which ranked in the top 100 bestseller list of Australia. Seeing the impact of their story, Marie had founded a global movement under the same title, created healing journeys, programs and retreats, to share and teach her very own healing steps with people who were craving healing for their grief.

Both Marie and AJ understand what it is like to lose a loved one and how the impact of that loss affects many areas of life. During the podcast, AJ mentions how he remembers at the time that no one else he knew was going through this… and says, “I wish I had a guidebook on how to deal with this.”
In the recent years, more resources on grief have been made available, and Marie and AJ continue to advocate for those experiencing grief offering comfort and motivation through their books.
