The Widow Podcast

Reframing our Reality with Heather Quisel


Listen Later

You are going to love this conversation, Heather is so honest and open in this episode and shares so much wisdom you will have a few aha moments I’m sure.

Heather shares her story of loss from when her husband, and childhood sweetheart, Larry died in 2018. Heather had to believe that her life could be good again after Larry died, the alternative was not an option for her.

Heather believes we have to reframe our reality and redefine things now we are widows.

Everything is so different after we lose a life partner, we are different, so how do we rebuild and re-invent ourselves and our lives so we can feel good again. 

This can feel like a daunting idea, accepting that our lives will be different and we will be different. It is uncomfortable and it fills us with fear, so how do we overcome this?

How do we intentionally create feelings that will move us forward rather than perpetuating our suffering, how do we make choices that allow us to live again?

As a widow we are constantly navigating so many decisions in our lives, from the grocery shopping to the finances, from which side of the bed to sleep on to what we do with the ashes, from how do we be both mum and dad to how do I get some peace? It’s relentless, no wonder we’re exhausted.

Heather gets it, she understands and she has the tools to help us reframe our reality, so we can reduce our suffering and be that strong independent person we were before we were thrown into the world of grief.

Enjoy xx
