"I need the strength to make it through it, and to make something of myself" was the sentence that jumped out to me on the prayer request that had been forward to me.  It is what you need.  The strength to make it through - and then a way to make something of yourself.  A way to make the emotional journey MEAN something.  A way to contribute - a way to do work in the world that actually feels fulfilling.  That is what widow coaching is all about.  email:  Joann@joannthelifecoach.com    Find out more about Widow Coaches Certification Class at http://widowcoaches.com

Welcome widows to episode 156.  A new year has always been a fresh start to me - but not after the death of my husband.  That New Year, I was still in shock and did not expect to see that year coming in without Jim.  Yes, the new year can become one of those milestones that tug at the heart, just like their birthday, wedding anniversary, and day of their passing.  But you CAN learn how to turn this new year into a new start again.  You can check out my website:  https://joannthelifecoach.com   My subscription membership for widows:  https://widowcoachingcenter.com  or email me at:  Joann@JoannTheLifeCoach.com

Interview With Widow Coach Jamie Metzgar

This week I had two excellent examples of the struggle we have at times as widows when we are making a decision or even wanting something more in our life, but feel a little guilty about that.  Have you ever thought about doing something or buying something and it felt a bit extravagant, so you shyed away from it?  Today I'm sharing a couple of stories that you just might identify with . . . . . . how it is when we are wanting permission.  Find me at https://joannthelifecoach.com  Email:  Joann@JoannTheLifeCoach.com

Looking For Permission as a Widow

This episode was inspired by a member in Widows Empowering Widows on Facebook who had both a wedding anniversary coming up, quickly followed by the first anniversary of her husband's death.  She had been keeping herself very busy since he passed.  But now feels like she cannot keep herself busy enough to distract herself from the pain of these upcoming dates.  What happens when busy works for a while, but then you can't be busy enough?  Email:  Joann@joannthelifecoach.com  Website:  https://joannthelifecoach.com
