Widow Cast: Widows Empowering Widows - How to Self Coach Through Grief

Welcome widows to episode 156.  A new year has always been a fresh start to me - but not after the death of my husband.  That New Year, I was still in shock and did not expect to see that year coming in without Jim.  Yes, the new year can become one of those milestones that tug at the heart, just like their birthday, wedding anniversary, and day of their passing.  But you CAN learn how to turn this new year into a new start again.  You can check out my website:  https://joannthelifecoach.com   My subscription membership for widows:  https://widowcoachingcenter.com  or email me at:  [email protected]

This week I had two excellent examples of the struggle we have at times as widows when we are making a decision or even wanting something more in our life, but feel a little guilty about that.  Have you ever thought about doing something or buying something and it felt a bit extravagant, so you shyed away from it?  Today I'm sharing a couple of stories that you just might identify with . . . . . . how it is when we are wanting permission.  Find me at https://joannthelifecoach.com  Email:  [email protected] 

This episode was inspired by a member in Widows Empowering Widows on Facebook who had both a wedding anniversary coming up, quickly followed by the first anniversary of her husband's death.  She had been keeping herself very busy since he passed.  But now feels like she cannot keep herself busy enough to distract herself from the pain of these upcoming dates.  What happens when busy works for a while, but then you can't be busy enough?  Email:  [email protected]  Website:  https://joannthelifecoach.com
