Now she coaches and teaches other widows so they can love life again, too.

8 myths about sex and grief
- You just want physical touch, not sex
- If you want sex again it means you didn’t love your person of loss
- The first year is the hardest/you shouldn’t have sex the first year
- If you don’t want sex there is something wrong with you
- You should wait for sex until you are done grieving
- If you want sex then you must be trying to escape your grief
- Escaping your grief is wrong
- You can have sex again until it is “the one”
- You aren’t ready to have sex until you don’t have strong emotions
