Summary

There is a tipping point in grief that some widows reach quickly, while other widows never reach it.

The life you want is worth fighting for. Don’t give up on that. This week, hear why crossing the tipping point matters.

0:00.0	Welcome to the Widowed Mom podcast, episode 182, the tipping point in grief.
0:10.3	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 there, welcome to another episode of the podcast. I've been thinking about today's subject quite a bit for you.
0:39.2	So it's going to be probably a shorter episode than normal, but hopefully very powerful.
0:43.5	So before I tell you about the tipping point in grief, a couple other things I want to tell you,
0:48.6	I love doing the happier holidays workshop. It was really fun to do. It was fun to create. It was fun to deliver.
0:55.8	And so I've decided we're going to do another one, but this one's not going to be about the holidays.
0:59.3	This one's going to be about breaking through a grief plateau. I pulled the women inside the
1:04.8	widowed mom podcast Facebook community and asked what topics would be most useful.
1:12.7	And breaking through a grief plateau was the favorite. Hands down, it got the most votes. So this class is going to be two hours long.
1:21.3	It's going to be Thursday, December 8th, from 1 to 3 p.m. Central. It will be recorded. So if you
1:26.7	can't attend it live, you can always get
1:28.2	the recording. It will be a very low cost opportunity for you to get some help. And the intention of
1:34.7	this class will be to help you identify when you're in a grief plateau and then break through it.
1:40.8	Right. So many of us are stuck in grief plateaus and we don't even know that we're stuck there. Now,
1:45.1	grief plateau is a term that I coined. So you might not hear it anywhere else and that's okay, right?
1:52.3	A grief plateau is exactly where I was stuck and I didn't have a term for it. I didn't even know
1:59.4	that I was stuck. I mean, I knew things didn't feel like I wanted them to feel, but I just didn't have a term for it. I didn't even know that I was stuck. I mean, I knew things didn't feel
2:02.1	like I wanted them to feel, but I just didn't have any language to support where I was. And now I
2:06.8	have seen it happen so many times that I know what it looks like and I know what I call it,
2:13.0	which is a grief plateau. So you can go to coaching with Krista.com forward slash grief plateau and you will learn
