0:00.0	Welcome to the Widowed Mom Podcast, episode 247, more myths about grief, part one.
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
0:23.2	to. Here's your host, Master Certified Life Coach, Grief Expert, Widow, and Mom, Krista
0:30.5	St. Germain.
0:32.8	Hey there, welcome to another episode of the podcast. I've been busy today working on a retreat for my
0:41.9	mom goes on master's members. Mom Goes on Masters is the program that women can do once they have
0:47.1	completed mom goes on. And we have a retreat every six months and I am planning it and having so much
0:52.3	fun doing it. I was just going to recycle the retreat that we did last
0:55.6	March because it was I loved it. It was so awesome. But then I did the Game 1 versus Game 2 podcast episodes
1:01.9	and had such a great response to those and thought it would be so much fun to create a whole retreat
1:07.4	experience around the idea of your Game 2 playbook. And so that's what we're doing.
1:13.0	So I love my job that this is the kind of fun stuff I get to do and I get to order presents
1:18.1	that are themed. And it's really, really fun for me. And I love it. So anyway, that's what's going on

1:39.5	there are more myths to address. So I'm going to do a two-part episode. And in today's episode, I'm going to
1:45.7	cover six more myths. Next week, I'm going to cover six more myths. And I want to remind you that episode
1:52.2	number two of the widowed mom podcast, which is one of our most downloaded podcast episodes,
1:56.9	is also called Myths of Grief. And you might want to go take a refresher and listen to that one
2:01.8	if you haven't in a while. So let's dive in. More myths about grief, number one. Grief is only
2:11.0	about death. No, no, no. Grief is the natural human response to a perceived loss. And yes, bereavement, right, our response to a death loss is certainly a type of grief, but it is not the only type of grief. And I want to make sure that we're reminding ourselves of that. Grief is so much more than death.
