This is NOT your new normal

Hearing Krista say “Please don’t settle for a life that is less than you deserve.” was like having a lifebouy thrown while I was sinking in the rough sea. After my husband died by suicide in April, Fathers Day was crushing me and left me feeling hopeless. I came upon the podcast while desperately searching for others who would understand. After binge listening to hours of episodes, I signed up for coaching that next day. 2 months in and I’m starting to see a path back. PS Relationship with your Husband took a weight off my heart 💕

Thank you, Krista.

At 42 years old I never could have imagined…me..a..widow. My husband passed away 7 weeks ago, and to say life has been hard these last 7 weeks would be a complete understatement, because there are no words that could ever fully describe what early grief looks or feels like. Maybe agony comes the closest. One day while scrolling through social media a sponsored ad for Kristas podcast appeared on my wall, and boy am I glad it did. I’ve been listening to episodes recommended for me during this time of early grief. Todays episode #74 Everything’s okay & everything’s not ok really spoke to my heart and soul. I’m learning to live in the “&”, and this episode was a great reminder that as humans we get the blessing of the “&”. While I’m not ok…I’m also ok. Krista thank you for this beautiful reminder, and thank you for your podcast. I look forward to listening and gaining comfort and wisdom from someone who has also walked the path of a widow. It makes me feel just a little less alone.
