Summary

A few years ago, I would never have been able to give myself the opportunity to receive good things. Maybe like me, you have lots of “shoulds” and rules about investing in your own pleasure.

Hear why it’s essential for us to learn to receive while grieving, the reasons you might find this challenging, and strategies you can try to increase your ability to receive in grief.

0:00.0	Welcome to the Widowed Mom Podcast, episode 207, learning to receive 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.
0:32.7	Hey there, welcome to another episode of the podcast. Guess what? My daughter comes home this weekend on the 20th.
0:42.1	She comes home from Spain. She's been there since February. And the 20th is also my birthday.
0:48.4	48 years, 48 times I have gone around the sun. Eight times I have gone around the sun without Hugo.
0:55.3	It's crazy how time flies, but also feels like it was yesterday. Would you do me a favor for my

1:40.9	reason tells the podcasting gods that the podcast is good and it suggests it to more people.
1:47.4	And also it helps me get higher caliber guests on the podcasts for you. It's actually something
1:53.0	that guests really do consider when they're looking at podcasts is how many ratings and reviews,
1:57.8	you know, particular podcasts get and the higher the better. So if you would do that,
2:01.5	that would be amazing. Also, at the time you are listening to this, I'm recording it in advance,
2:05.7	but at the time you are listening to this, I will just have come back from a trip to Greece,
2:11.6	which I'm really excited about as I sit here and record it, because obviously I haven't gone on it
2:15.6	yet. And it's actually quite relevant to what I want to talk to you today about, which is learning to receive. And the reason it's
