Have you ever heard the phrase, "Whoever dies first wins" and wondered what it could possibly mean? At first glance, it might sound shocking—even a little unsettling. But for today's guest, those words became part of a profound journey through love, loss, grief, and ultimately, healing.

My guest today is Karen Bonofiglio, a retired school teacher, psychic medium, and international bestselling author of Whoever Dies First Wins. In the span of just thirteen months, Karen lost her father, her mother, and her beloved husband. What followed was a journey through unimaginable heartbreak, depression, and the deepest questions many of us face after loss. Yet within that darkness, Karen discovered something unexpected: hope, purpose, and a deeper understanding of life's spiritual dimensions.

In this heartfelt conversation, we'll talk about grief, signs from loved ones, caring for family members with Alzheimer's, the lessons hidden within our hardest experiences, and how Karen transformed her pain into a mission to help others through her widow support community, the Janda Sisters.

This is a conversation about loss—but even more, it's a conversation about resilience, love, and finding light when life feels impossibly dark.

Let's dive in. Or should I say “Let’s Call IT in”!
