"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:  [email protected]    Find out more about Widow Coaches Certification Class at http://widowcoaches.com  

I shared a free online workshop last week on one of the many tools I teach in my widow coaches certification course.  I had emailed out the introduction chapter of my next book, The Widow Coach, and received back so many wonderful responses that I wanted to share a tool with everyone.  On this episode, I am teaching this for my listeners that did not catch the free workshop.  It is all about how to understand what the true facts are in your life compared to the story your tell yourself about them.  I share how you can look at any incident making you feel bad to better understand how your thinking creates how you feel.  This is just one of the many tools and concepts I teach, but it is an important one.  If you are interested in the Widow Coaches Class, go to http://widowcoaches.com   You can also email me at [email protected]

The lesson that gets sent straight home to our hearts over and over.  Why do we still not get it?  When we lose our spouse, we immediately realize how previous every moment with them was.  Perhaps we wish things had been a little different.  Maybe that we worked less or were less preoccupied with ouir own “busy-ness” of life.  We wish there had been more “down time” to spend kicked back with our husband or wife.  It’s really an old story, isn’t it? Are you a widow who feels deeply that there is no time to lose?  Email feedback about this podcast to [email protected]  You can find out more about Widow Coaches Class at http://bit.ly/WidowCoaches  

Hitting the "pause button" on grief because you throw yourself into work or put all your energy into making sure your kids are okay will eventually catch up.  You can pause grief, but that is not healing.  The grief eventually turns up again.  So how to feel better, right now.  I share one of the first things I teach in Widow Coaches Class.  It is being able to separate out story from fact, and how to take a look at your own story and see if it is serving you.  If it's not, then it's time to start seeing a different story emerge so you can feel better immediately.  Why you want to invest in YOURSELF and bet on YOURSELF moving forward.  Join me on today's podcast.  Email feedback about this podcast to [email protected]  You can find out more about Widow Coaches Class at http://bit.ly/WidowCoaches  

After becoming widowed, is it possible to love your life again?  It might seem impossible - you feel like you'll never wake up with excitement and want to jump right out of bed.  I want to share with you exactly how this happened for me.  It is how I found meaning in my life again and began to love my life and love my work.  Listen in as I share my story.  You can reach out to me in email at [email protected]   If you are interested in Widow Coaching Class, go to http://bit.ly/widowcoaches 

We talk about feelings a lot in widow coaches certification training.  Most widows come to me because they want to know how to escape their feelings - the pain is overwhelming.  Instead they learn how to really feel their feelings so they can process them and release them.  It is important to not separate from your feelings but to honor them.  If you are interested in learning how to life coach widows, please reach out at this link http://bit.ly/WidowCoaches    Email:  [email protected]
