BW 156: Grief Work Isn't Enough: The Truth About Healing No One Tells Widows


Listen Later

What comes after the casseroles, therapy, and prayers.

 

You've done all the "right" things.

✔ Therapy
✔ Journaling
✔ Prayer
✔ Widow support groups
✔ Reading all the grief books

 

But deep down, you're still stuck.
Still numb.
Still unsure if joy or purpose is even possible again.

 

This episode will explain why that’s not your fault—and why grief work alone isn’t enough. 

 

If you’ve been wondering, “Is this just how life feels now?”—this episode is for you.

 

💡 IN THIS EPISODE, YOU’LL LEARN:

  •  The missing piece no one talks about after loss
  •  Why traditional grief support often stops too soon
  •  How Brave Widow Academy helps you move from surviving to rebuilding
  •  What it actually looks like to rebuild your identity, confidence, and purpose after grief
  •  How to stop waiting for time to heal you—and start building a life you love
