Richard Strother

The Widower’s Wingman

Richard’s unorthodox career has always been fueled by his persistent curiosity about the workings of the world… but more so how people and their relationships make the world work.

In October 2018, after 20 years together, Richard lost his wife to a rare cancer. After a time, he started dating again and found an incredible partner to share this hopeful new chapter of his life.

Noting the gap in resources for widowed men, he founded the Widower’s Wingman. Now Richard shares his story of love, loss and love again, with practical insights for those who want to date again after a life-altering loss.

His approach is compassionate, friendly, positive and upbeat, making him a dynamic and relatable speaker for just about any audience.
