Summary

There are so many false binaries in grief that make the experience more painful than it already is. From forced gratitude to sweeping your sadness under the rug, none of it would be necessary if you started using the word ‘and’ more in your everyday life.

Learn why I believe ‘and’ is one of the most magical words we can use in grief, how ‘and’ makes room for everything you feel, and how you can begin embracing the power of ‘and.’

0:00.0	Welcome to the Widowed Mom Podcast, episode 261, and the most powerful word in grief.
0:10.8	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
0:23.1	look forward to. Here's your host, Master Certified Life Coach, Grief Expert, Widow, and Mom,
0:30.7	Krista St. Germain.
0:33.3	Hey there, welcome to another episode of the podcast. Listen, my birthday was last week. And I would love it.
0:42.1	If you haven't before, would you leave a rating or a review on the podcast if it's helped you?
0:46.9	That would be such an amazing, even belated birthday present to me because it is still my goal to reach at least one million of the 11 million widows
0:57.0	that are in the U.S. alone. Amazing if we reach more worldwide. That is also happening too,
1:02.2	because I have clients in lots of different countries. But your rating, your review of the podcast
1:07.9	really helps get other people to listen. It helps get it in front of other
1:13.1	people so that they can find it and it can help them. Whether they ever join any of my paid
1:17.6	programs or not, I really want the podcast to get to more people. So if you would do that,
1:21.9	I would be grateful. When this launches, I will be actually in Connecticut for a conference for equity-centered coaching,
1:30.4	which I'm really excited about. I'll get to see some people in person that I haven't seen
1:34.8	in a while, and I'll be speaking at the event and also having my photos done with my favorite
1:41.9	photographer, which I have not had the opportunity to work with in
1:45.1	way too long. But we're going to be at the same event at the same time. So I'm taking the opportunity
1:50.4	to have her do some photos for me, which is amazing. She makes you feel so good in front of the camera,
1:56.2	no matter what's going on. She just makes you feel great. So I'm looking forward to that.
1:59.9	Okay. Last announcement before we dive in today's topic, which is that grief essentials starts
2:06.3	June 4th. This is probably going to be the only time I teach it live. That's my current plan.
2:10.9	I'm going to teach it live this time and then subsequent rounds. I won't be teaching it live,
