0:00.0	Welcome to the Widowed Mom Podcast, episode 266, is this normal in grief.
0:09.0	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.
0:24.7	Here's your host, Master Certified Life Coach, Grief Expert, Widow, and Mom, Krista
0:31.0	St. Germain.
0:33.3	Hey there, welcome to another episode of the podcast.

1:46.6	steeled my resolve to keep talking about other ways of thinking about grief.
1:54.3	Oh, anyway, shake it off, shake it off. And then right now, it will have already happened by the time this podcast
