Summary

In this episode, we're talking about how to think about the anniversary of your husband's death in a way that honors your feelings and capacity on the day. Just like grief, there's no one way to approach this day. We'll dig into why people have expectations about how you "should" act, why you should leave those "shoulds" behind, and how to feel confident determining your own desires around this day. I also share some great ideas for remembering, celebrating, or just thinking quietly about your husband, both on your own and alongside your loved ones.
