In this episode we discuss:

1) The spectrum of emotions that a widow can experience from relationships, financial during their experience and how difficult it can be to make the time you need to help yourself heal.

2) Adversity happens to all of us.  Finding the lessons in the story and learning how to use these lessons to move forward to do something with our story gives all of the challenges meaning and purpose.

3) No one teaches you how to be a widow, how to handle the loss and how to move on with life.  It’s these times in our life that require asking for help, surrounding ourselves with people who can support us and allowing ourselves to receive the help.
