Let's Chat... Where to place our focus in grief (Karen Sutton)

#153. Let's chat... about where we place our focus in grief. Welcome to another Let’s Chat episode, where instead of continuing our 101 Types of Loss list, I (Claire Sandys) sit down with guests who have expertise and personal insight into different aspects of loss. In this episode, I’m joined by Karen Sutton from Cheltenham in Gloucestershire, England (just a few miles down the road from me!). Karen is the UK's first widow coach and an Intuitive Psychology Coach. Karen's husband, Simon, died suddenly in 2016 after suffering a cardiac arrest while out on a bike ride, leaving her to navigate life as a widowed mum to their two children. Together, we talk about Karen's own experience of grief and the lessons she's learned along the way. We explore the powerful role that focus plays in the grieving process - why it's so easy to become consumed by our pain, how gently shifting our focus can help, and the difference it can make over time. This conversation is packed with practical insights for anyone living with loss, including ways to refocus without denying your grief. Plus, Karen is a big advocate of hope - so you know we're going to bond on that topic!  For more about Karen, her social media, and her podcast, visit: https://www.karensutton.co.uk https://www.instagram.com/karensuttonwidowcoach/ https://www.facebook.com/karensuttonwidowcoach https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-widow-podcast/id1576872824 Send us Fan Mail Support the show ----- thesilentwhy.com  |  Instagram  |  Facebook  |  Twitter  |  LinkedIn What's a Herman? / Buy a Herman - thehermancompany.com Support the show: buymeacoffee.com/thesilentwhy Sign-up to my mailing list (only used for sharing news occasionally!): thesilentwhy.com/newsletter How to talk to the grieving:  thesilentwhy.com/post/howtotalktothegrieving Review the show: Apple Podcasts  |  Spotify  |  Goodpods Episode transcripts: thesilentwhy.buzzsprout.com Thank you for listening.
