The Widowed Mom Podcast

351. Is It Selfish to Want to Move On?


Listen Later

Have you ever wondered if it’s selfish to want more for your life after your person dies? If the desire to date again, set boundaries, rest, or feel joy brings up guilt or heaviness, you are not alone.

In this episode, I unpack the question so many widows quietly wrestle with: Is it selfish to want to move on?

Tune in this week as I help you redefine what selfish really means, recognize internalized conditioning, and reclaim your agency without shame. You’ll hear why the phrase “moving on” can feel triggering, why “moving forward” is different, and how the fear of being selfish is often rooted in lifelong social conditioning, not truth.
