0:00.0	Welcome to the Widowed Mom podcast, episode 105, grief grenades.
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
0:23.2	to. Here's your host, Master Certified Life Coach, Grief Expert, Widow, and Mom, Krista
0:30.5	St. Germain.
0:32.9	Hey there, welcome to another episode of the podcast. Who doesn't want to talk about grief grenades?
0:38.7	Right? I mean, what could be more fun than grief grenades? Listen, though, I want to talk to you

1:39.8	yourself because no matter what anybody else is saying, you don't need to get rid of anything.
1:43.9	And I'm coming up on five years. And I still have until this past week, a lot of Hugo's
