Today I want to share with you some hope and the story of one of my clients, Katie Hunt.

Katie gave an incredible TedX talk that speaks to widowhood and as she says in her talk, “the future that we envisioned no longer exists”.

Although life is going to be very different now it can also still be good.

There is still so much to look forward to and so many more wonderful moments for you to experience.

I want to share with you what grief looks like six years on. How the story we tell ourselves in the beginning stages of grief changes over time to a new story.

In this episode I want to talk to you about the importance of not allowing your person's death to overshadow their life.

In the early stages of grieving we are naturally very focused on the death, this is unavoidable, however, we want to avoid it becoming our focal point for the rest of our lives.

Our person lived, they created memories, they taught us so much and they shaped who we are today.

Remembering our person for all that they were in life is so healing for us, it helps us take steps forward towards a brighter future and remember our person with more love than pain.

Listen as we discuss:

Remembering the life they lived and not their death

Learning to focus on the memories, moments and achievements you made together

Remembering the value that our loved ones brought to our lives

It can be incredibly difficult in our grief to care for ourselves.

Sometimes it can feel easier to keep busy, distract ourselves and take ourselves away from the pain that we're in.

Today, I’d like to invite you to take some time to slow down and think about you.

To focus on some breathing & self healing in a guided meditation.

Practice this meditation as often as you would like and experience the amazing benefits of self care and self healing.
