The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast

Brittany Price Brooker never imagined becoming a widow at 25 with three boys under the age of three, but what followed is a story of grief, resilience, community, and unexpected redemption. In this deeply moving conversation, Brittany shares how sudden loss reshaped her life, how faithful friends and family stepped in during the darkest days, and how hope slowly grew again in places that once felt impossible to heal. From remarriage and a blended family of six kids to homeschooling, ministry, and helping widowers find support through Refuge Widowers (https://www.refugewidowers.com), Brittany’s story is a powerful reminder that even when life takes a turn you never wanted, the road ahead can still hold beauty, purpose, and joy.
