Summary
Tune in this week and discover why grief is something we will never be able to leave behind, but also why that in itself is not a bad thing. This is a short and sweet episode, and the concept might be a little daunting to wrap your head around, but I wouldn’t be sharing it if I didn’t think it was 100% true.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Widowed Mom podcast, Episode 17, Making Friends with Grief. |
| 0:10.2 | Welcome to the Widowed Mom podcast, the only podcast that offers a proven process to help you work through your grief to grow, evolve, and create a future you can truly look forward to. |
| 0:24.2 | Here's your host, Master Certified Life Coach, Grief Expert, Widow, and Mom, Krista St. Germain. |
| 0:32.8 | Hey, everybody. Welcome back to another episode of the podcast. It's Sunday afternoon. |
| 0:40.4 | Almost time for me to go cook dinner, actually, here in my world. And it's starting to look |
| 0:47.8 | like fall here, which for me is like my very most favorite. I love fall. I may or may not have had my fall |
| 0:56.6 | decorations out in mid-August. My daughter and I were kind of both obsessed with fall. |
| 1:04.7 | Probably her, because her birthday is in October, me just because I've always loved the changing colors. |
| 1:12.7 | I've always loved the temperature and how it drops and it gets so much more pleasant to |
| 1:18.5 | be outside. |
| 1:19.5 | And then, of course, the holidays are coming, which since I was a little kid, were my very |
| 1:24.7 | favorite. |
| 1:25.5 | Now, not the topic for this episode, but I am keenly |
| 1:30.4 | aware that you may have just heard me talk about the holidays and you may have a whole host of |
| 1:36.3 | other thoughts and feelings that don't involve looking forward to the holidays. Holidays without |
| 1:41.6 | your person are quite different than the holidays from before, |
| 1:46.9 | right? So I get that. Don't worry. We're going to cover that in another podcast episode or |
| 1:52.4 | episodes, plural, perhaps. So if the mere thought of holidays got you down, I feel you. I feel you. All right. I have one more winner to announce, |
| 2:06.3 | you guys, one more winner of the $100 Amazon gift cards. I've been running this competition |
| 2:12.1 | since we launched the podcast and I'm pretty excited about it. I've been using a little random |
| 2:16.3 | number generator to help me |
| 2:17.8 | determine which is the winner. And the winner number five is Gail Hall. So Gail, congratulations. |
