💠This week on Dear Nina I have a guest with a personal and inspiring story to share about starting a new life with new friends and a new outlook after a horrific tragedy. This is unlike any I’ve heard firsthand, and I’m grateful for Jen’s candor and honesty.
💠Jen Zwinck wrote to me:
💠After my husband was killed, I moved with my daughter to a small island in the Caribbean where I didn’t know a single person. I went there to heal. What surprised me was the friendships that I formed while I was there, these women who came into my life, divinely, I believe, became my angels and my ‘stand-in’ family. We shared the bond of being expats and I’m still close with them to this day.
💠Meet Jen Zwinck

💠Part of Jen’s story:
From Jen’s site, and she shares more of her story on our episode:
💠Jen Zwinck will never forget the moment that changed her life. In 2011, her husband was walking home from a bachelor party when he was attacked, robbed, and killed. Jen instantly became a young widow, left to raise their two year old daughter alone.
💠Overcome with grief and anxiety over the loss, Jen chose her own unique path to heal. She packed 4 suitcases and moved with her daughter to a tiny island in the Caribbean where she knew no one.
💠The years she spent on the island gave her the time to process the loss and rebuild her own strength and courage to move forward.
