    Fear of Forgetting Your Person

    What if the memories you hold most dear started to fade? Would that mean losing your person all over again? The fear of forgetting your person is something many widows quietly carry, and it can feel just as painful as the loss itself. In this episode, I share my own experience with the fear of forgetting your person - worrying about losing the sound of their voice, their quirks, and the tiny details that made them who they were - and what I’ve come to understand about this fear. Tune in this week to learn why forgetting details is completely human and doesn’t mean you’re losing your person. We’ll also talk about how connection evolves over time, and releasing the pressure to remember everything and embracing new ways to stay connected without fear.

    What Does a Grief Life Coach Actually Do?

    What does a grief life coach actually do, and could it change how you experience grief? If you’ve ever wondered whether coaching is just listening, advice-giving, or something more, this episode pulls back the curtain. In this episode, I explain what grief life coaching really is (and what it isn’t). Grief isn’t a problem to fix. It’s a natural response to loss. As a grief life coach, my role is to help widows understand their emotions, make sense of their thoughts, and navigate life after loss with more clarity and less unnecessary suffering. Join me today to hear how grief coaching helps you allow emotions instead of avoiding them, understand how your brain shapes your experience, reduce added suffering, and begin rebuilding a meaningful life. I also walk you through what actually happens in a coaching session and why group coaching can be so powerful in helping widows feel less alone.

    If You’re Avoiding Everyone Right Now, This Is for You

    Have you noticed yourself avoiding everyone lately, wondering if something might be wrong? After the loss of your person, even simple social interactions can suddenly feel overwhelming. If invitations feel heavy, texts go unanswered, or you just want more time alone, you might worry that you're isolating too much or doing grief “wrong.” Join me this week as I dive into what it really means when you're avoiding everyone during grief and why it’s far more common and often healthier than you might think. You’ll learn the three different experiences we often label as isolation, how to tell whether avoiding everyone is nourishing solitude or protective avoidance, and how to check in with yourself without judgment.
