S3 EP20 Spring Will Come Again
In this episode I have a very raw, honest and relatable conversation with friend and fellow widow Lisa.
Lisa's husband Simon died in November 2019 leaving her and her children to navigate their way through life without Simon.
Lisa is so inspirational and incredibly wise so I wanted her to share her story with you so you can draw from her strength and wisdom.
There will be so much in this episode that will resonate on a deep and profound level, I know you will not leave without feeling truly inspired and motivated. Take a listen.

This is a great place for spouses of grief.Your guest.s story was similar to mine.Cancer took my husband as well.I related to the journey of hospital visit.,tests and so on.Its just been recent for me.A month in.We were married 46 years.I.ll look forward to your videos.I guess you just never think it will happen to you until it does.
You are speaking to my soul. I'm in therapy, I exercise, and I have a lot of support but I don't know who I am anymore. My therapist told me I need to sit in the pain because I don't allow it. Thank you for reiterating what she was saying.
Thank you for being so open honest and sharing. I am at one year and four months after almost 51 years together. And so appreciate you sharing your journey.
Listening to a lot of the recordings, I feel widows have a lot in common, but there are a lot of differences. I feel I’m a widow but my husband has been in a vegetative state for nearly three months and he won’t recover and he won’t come home. His body is alive but he as a person is gone. I don’t know how different things will feel when he actually goes. He was ill for 18 years, so many of the losses people talk about, we had already lost on the way. The first month after his cardiac arrest, I had hope for a few days. After that, I was shocked and it was the worst month. I think I’m doing quite well now. Maybe it’s because I’m not really a widow. I don’t get accepted into widows’ support groups. I felt bad about that the first month, but maybe I’ll never need it now. Maybe years of anticipatory grief shortens the actual grief.
This conversation made me realize I have never dealt with the trauma, the actual crisis of my husband killing himself when my son and I were in such close proximity and didn't know it was going to happen. It is why I am still terrified of everything. I am still in a high state of anxiety. My hormones and constant stress have been running my life. I need to look for a different type of help now. Thank you for being so open and honest that I could finally recognize what I really needed. ♥️🙏♥️🤔😢
