Regardless of age, a partner's death can be one of the most challenging events in a person's life. What saddens me most is when I see people expecting too much of themselves too soon. Navigating life without your partner is a process that takes time. And how you use that time is crucial to your ability to adapt and cope.

The good news is you don't have to do it alone.

My name is Karen Sutton, I’m a Widow Coach and the host of The Widow Podcast. In this podcast series, I'll support you through the loss of your life partner, so you can find a more positive avenue to navigate your grief. My mission is to give you hope after loss, to help you understand that everyone's grief is unique, there’s no right or wrong way, and that in time, it is possible for us all to create a meaningful life after loss. In today’s episode, I talk a little bit about the Widow Podcast, who it's for, what it can give you, and some practical tips to help you move toward healing.

What You'll Learn:

  • Understanding the trauma of losing a life partner
  • Why you must allow yourself to grieve
  • How to gain a deeper understanding of your grief
  • How to take back control of your life after a loss
  • The drawbacks of living in a grief-illiterate society
  • Why it's okay to feel a mixture of emotions after a loss
  • Why you should never compare your grief with the grief of others
  • Remember, the death of a partner is not just about the loss of their physical presence, it’s much more than that. Moving forward is not a quick and easy process, it will take longer than you want, or even expect, it to, and this will be difficult for those around you to fully understand. It's your grief, and you have the right to sit in it however long it takes.
