When you suffer a loss, should you move forward or move on? Nikki Sewell, a therapist with a personal experience of profound loss, offers a unique perspective on navigating grief and moving forward after the death of both her husband and father by the age of 30. With over 17 years of experience in grief counseling, Nikki emphasizes the importance of not just moving on but moving forward in the tapestry of life. Join Stacy Francis on this episode of Financially Ever After as Nikki shares her insights on setting healthy boundaries, practicing self-compassion, and the complexities of re-partnering after loss.

Moving forward, not moving on, is a more empowering approach to dealing with grief and loss, recognizing that past experiences are woven into the tapestry of our lives.

Setting healthy boundaries is crucial in the grieving process, especially for women who may struggle with people-pleasing tendencies and societal expectations.

Self-compassion plays a vital role in navigating grief and trauma, allowing individuals to acknowledge their emotions and prioritize self-care.

The decision to re-partner after losing a spouse is a personal choice, and individuals should focus on their own growth and happiness rather than societal pressures.

Recognizing that grief can manifest in different ways for different people, it's essential to be understanding and supportive of individuals experiencing loss.

Seeking professional therapy and support can help individuals navigate the emotional and financial challenges that come with the loss of a spouse.
