Listen Later

Welcome to Financially Ever After Widowhood. As we’re in the heart of the holiday season, we know this time of year can bring both cherished memories and difficult emotions, especially for widows navigating loss. Today, we’re bringing back one of our most impactful episodes from last year, featuring Cognitive Behavioral and Grief Coach Jordan Schwartz Hendin.

We hope this special replay offers comfort, guidance, and a reminder that you’re not alone. Thank you for tuning in, and we wish you peace and support this holiday season. Let’s revisit this incredible episode.

Jordan draws from her personal experiences with grief, having lost her own mother at a young age and supporting her widowed grandmother through multiple losses. Now a professional coach, she works with women struggling with grief and major life transitions. In this week’s show, Jordan and Stacy explore handling loss and loneliness, honoring traditions, and staying financially sound.

  • The holidays can bring up complex emotions such as sadness, anger, and loneliness. This is normal after a major loss.
  • Avoid unhealthy coping strategies like becoming an "isolator" or "doer." Don't overcommit to events or hide away alone.
  • Reflect on your core values. Focus on traditions that align with what matters most, like family time.
  • Make new memories and experiences, especially with children. Gift experiences rather than material items.
  • Have open conversations with family about your grief. Don't pretend to be okay if you're not.
  • Manage your finances by focusing on your values, not material possessions. Stick to a budget for holiday gifts and activities.
  • You don't have to navigate the holidays alone. Seek support from family or a grief counselor during this difficult time.
