Summary

There’s nothing like spousal or partner loss to make us reassess our priorities and get back in touch with what we truly want. But what do you do when you decide you no longer want to pursue something, and you’ve got that voice in your head saying, “Don’t be a quitter, you should or have to do this?”

Hear why you might be struggling to give up on something you no longer want, and discover four questions that will give you a renewed sense of clarity around your decision.

0:00.0	Welcome to the Widowed Mom Podcast, episode 251, when it's okay to give up.
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. Got back from Costa Rica not too long ago.
0:39.8	Had a really nice time with my daughter, but also, you know, it was 50-50. Some things went
0:45.0	amazing. Some things not so great. My poor dad got parasites while we were there. Some interesting
0:51.8	flight challenges. My daughter's bike got stolen. But also,
0:55.3	I got to hear howler monkeys for the first time. I saw a sloth climb through the restaurant we
1:01.9	were eating at. And if you all don't know, I am kind of obsessed with sloths. I also learned
1:07.1	that I like three-fingered sloths, more than two-fingered sloths. And they're not

1:26.5	the podcast to hear about grief, and I tell you about sloths
1:29.5	and Costa Rica. But it was actually a really good trip. If you are not getting emails from me,
1:35.5	you should go to Coaching with Krista.com and you should sign up for emails. And it's pretty easy to do
1:40.0	because when you get to the website, pretty much on any page you end up on. If you wait long enough,
1:45.4	a little pop-up box will appear and you can put your name and email address in there and then
1:50.2	I'll start sending you emails. But I send out a lot of really helpful emails, thought-provoking emails,
1:56.2	interesting perspectives about what I'm learning and things I wish I had known about grief.
2:01.6	And I want to make sure you know about it. And I actually just wrote a couple of emails about
2:06.6	the crazy things that happened in Costa Rica and what they taught me about grief. So if you're
2:12.1	not getting them, you can go get them. They're free. It's fun for me to do that. But I'm glad to
