This is such a special interview with our guest this week, Leila Salisbury, who lost her husband suddenly to suicide, leaving her to raise their daughter. Her story is one of courage and resilience and you don't want to miss it!

Leila and I chat about:

~How to navigate through grief when the marriage wasn't so great.

~How she found help in unexpected places, as a solo-parent living in a city where she didn't have family around to support her.

~ How she had to find the right ways to support her daughter's grief, which was completely different from her own grief experience.

~ How her mother's sudden death shaped her decision to pivot her career into doing grief support work.

~ How she decided to open Kentucky's first and only family grief support center.

~ How she learned to recognize signs from the universe that give you nudges in the direction you're supposed to be going!

~ How her relationship with her daughter has formed over the years.

~ How finding purpose and meaning after loss is possible!

One of the common things I see happen with widows is that after we lose our spouse, we get overloaded with taking care of all the things. We're trying to find a new balance, managing the logistics of the day to day, but we also wonder who we are. We wonder what's in store for us. And we don't have the time to sit and contemplate it!

That is why retreats offer an amazing, beautiful escape from our routine to give us the time to focus on ourselves, for once!

This episode talks about 6 reasons why every widow needs to go on a retreat this year! Make yourself a priority! Take care of you! Give yourself the gift of time and space to get some clarity in your life!
