Summary

I explore the fascinating concept of post-traumatic growth and how it's available to all of us, including widows. Post-traumatic growth doesn't mean being grateful for your loss or minimizing your pain. It's about intentionally creating more meaning, purpose, and fulfillment in your life after a traumatic event.

I share powerful sentences that can help foster post-traumatic growth, the thoughts that can hold you back, and reflective questions to guide you on this journey.

0:45.1	bit ahead of time, of course, grief about what's happening with the fires in California.

1:08.6	hard to watch. And I also know that post-traumatic growth
1:12.5	is also possible for all of the people who have experienced those fires, not that that means
