My Widowed Life

Transforming Pain into Power: How Can Grief Triggers Foster Healing? (Ep. 4)

Listen Later

After losing your spouse, it is very common to experience triggers of grief from things like their favourite song or restaurant, your wedding anniversary, or even something as simple as coming across an old belonging of theirs.

In this release, Palma Polesel invites her friend and fellow widow, Richard Dri onto the show to provide some personal insight and guidance for navigating the many grief triggers that can occur after the death of a spouse. 

Listen in as Palma and Richard discuss: 

  • Common grief triggers and strategies to help you cope
  • Why it’s important to give yourself grace and understanding during a moment of grief
  • How to prepare for when you know a possible trigger event is coming up (holidays, birthdays, etc)
  • The concept of avoidance – when it’s healthy and when it’s not
  • And more
