Summary

None of us want to talk about the things that weren’t so amazing in our relationships, or the guilt or shame we may have felt, and this is exactly why I love Suzanne so much. She always shows up in our community ready to share the realness of what’s going on for her, and after listening to her journey so far, I think you’ll come out on the other side knowing you’re most definitely not alone.

0:00.0	Welcome to the Widowed Mom podcast, episode 103, Widows Unfiltered, an interview with Suzanne Denedgris.
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.
0:32.6	Hey there, welcome to another episode of the podcast. So often, I think widows think they're alone.
0:42.5	They think that their story is too different than someone else's story. They don't have anyone
0:49.4	in their immediate orbit who can relate to the details of the circumstances behind their relationship
0:58.2	or to the circumstances behind their spouse's death. And so for that reason, and many others,
1:05.7	I'm excited for you to hear my client Suzanne's story. Not everyone comes to me having had a marriage that was
1:17.5	kittens and rainbows and sunshine. Sometimes there were some things going on that were complicated
1:24.0	and gritty. And that just makes us often feel isolated because it's so easy to see
1:31.3	the stories of other widows on the internet who seem like they had perfect marriages, never had
1:39.0	any problems, everything was going smoothly. And quite frankly, none of us really want to talk about all of the
1:48.4	things that weren't going amazing in our relationships. And sometimes what that means then is that
1:54.0	because we don't see those other complicated relationships being talked about and because we don't
2:00.4	talk about them, then we often
2:01.8	start developing shame. We often start judging ourselves and our relationships and feeling even more
2:07.8	lonely and even more isolated and maybe guilty or shameful about what was going on in our relationship.
2:15.1	And so I love Suzanne, and I always have, for the way that she has
2:19.2	shown up in the program, which is just in a truly authentic way. She does not hide. She always brings
2:26.0	the real story of what's going on in her mind and in her heart. And that's why she's a great
2:32.1	person for you to listen from and learn from. And that's why,
2:35.7	frankly, coaching has been so powerful for her because she knows I'm not going to judge her
