Widowhood is relentless and inescapable. Grief can be all consuming, or sneaky. No matter when it strikes, we can seize the Captain’s Wheel and take the moment back! When the phone call from the Sheriff shattered my world in May 2018, I was plunged into widowhood. I felt like I was crawling on endless glass. And the glass was on fire. I knew I had to find a way to get back up and live again. It started with a realization, an affirmation, a confirmation – I’m Still Here! That was key to rebuilding a life of meaning. As time went on, I would discover who and what I wanted to say Yes to. One day I looked up and realized that I had accomplished what I thought was impossible in those early days – I had managed to find my way again. Those 3 key lessons are what I teach other widows now, because I believe in you, and the entire point of my workshop is for you to find hope and learn a few new skills to craft your own way forward too. Hope to see you there!
