0:00.0	Welcome to the Widowed Mom Podcast, episode 281, Rethinking, The Ake.
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 look forward to.
0:24.7	Here's your host, Master Certified Life Coach, Grief Expert, Widow, and Mom, Krista St. Germain.
0:33.3	Hey there, welcome to another episode of the podcast. How are you? We have reached mid-October.
0:39.8	How are you? I'm doing well. I am missing my daughter, I will say. She's in Argentina until December,
0:46.5	and I'm missing her. And that's kind of the ache that I want to talk about today.

1:58.9	starting to feel some dread around
2:00.8	the holidays, totally normal, and happier holidays is coming. So I just wanted to let you know that.
2:06.2	So, okay, let's talk about the ache and how we can think about it. I want you to think about when you
2:11.9	have experienced this ache, yearning, however you call it. And what I'm not talking about is, I'm not talking about
