Michelle Georges lost her husband Bob to cancer. In today's interview we talk about her life after the loss.

Michelle and I chat about:

~ Coping with grief by living in the present moment.

~ How organ donation is so important and can save people's lives

~ How to "pretend to be alive until you feel alive!"

~ How it's so easy to fall into the trap of poor health decisions and poor coping mechanisms, like drinking too much alcohol.

~ How widows who were happily married tend to remarry quickly because they want to replicate that - and that's ok!

~ How we can choose to wallow or we keep trying to try!

 I would love to continue working with you guys on your new path to love by having you in my new program Dating After Loss: A 4 Step WISH Program for Widows and Widowers Looking to Find Love Again!

This course is a complete roadmap to get you back out there again!

Heather Quisel joins us on the podcast today to talk to us about the loss of her husband Larry and how her life has changed in the last 3 years since his death.

Heather and I chat about:

~ How she tried to "mindset" her way around grief and essentially cheat her way through grief (which didn't work!)

~ How the real struggle for widowed moms is to grieve and do what you need to do to feel better, and do it confidently, knowing there will be judgment from others

~ How essential oils have emotional properties.

~How essential oils are a powerful tool in your toolkit for grief.

~ How being remarried has brought her so much joy and a renewed sense of living.

~ How to not fall in to the victim role and stay in suffering.

If you're interested in essential oils and want more info, contact Heather on Instagram @heatherquisel

We can get so distracted by grief, by ALL OF THE THINGS we HAVE to do, by all of the balls we are juggling, that we don't leave time for ourselves.

Anxiety and fear can get the best of us and unfortunately we don't always know how to "correct" it, how to come back to ourselves.

This episode talks about a mindfulness trick to check in with ourselves on a daily basis. Because WE matter. And our well-being matters.

Let me know if this helps!

In this episode, Liz and I discuss:

~ The aftermath of emotions from PTSD.

~ EMDR - Does it really work??

~Crazy dreams we have about our late spouse

~ Finding love again when you think it's IMPOSSIBLE

~ Not caring what other people think!

I know Liz's story will serve as a great example of what can be. It's a great example of hope for other widows.
