Summary

The common widowhood experience often ranges from a lack of enthusiasm about life and going through the motions to apathy and waiting for the afterlife. What I haven’t observed very often in my world is what I see as the potential for an uncommon widowhood experience, and I’m walking you through it today.

If you want to start viewing grief as an opportunity to deeply connect with what you want and value, join me as I unlock the possibilities for your uncommon widowhood experience.

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'm recording this one a little bit early.
0:38.3	If you're listening to it on the day, it releases. That would be March 4th. And it's actually
0:44.1	early February right now. A couple of things going on. One, I just had an hour long conversation

1:07.3	show me around and see what she loves about Costa Rica.
1:10.2	So that's happening. And then also
1:12.3	we had a very fun, and I use fun in the most sarcastic way possible, leak in the basement last week,

1:49.5	happened to be recording a YouTube video and went in and used the bathroom and noticed and called me
1:54.8	and said, hey, mom, I think we got a problem in this basement bathroom. There's like a stain and the
1:58.2	paint's peeling. Anyway, got it fixed. It was, wow,
2:03.0	could have been so much worse, but also so much water from such a tiny little hole. Isn't that what
2:07.5	grief is like? Right. You think that it's not going to impact every area of your life. You do not
