0:00.0	Welcome to the Widowed Mom podcast, episode 155, where you should be in grief.
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.
0:32.6	Hey there, welcome to another episode of the podcast. My cold is gone. I feel better. Sorry, you had to hear
0:43.0	the cold in my voice, the last couple of podcast episodes, but I am super glad it is gone.
0:49.1	So that has happened. And I just wrote an email about it too, but just to mention it on the podcast, we had
0:55.9	a crazy tornado last Friday night as I'm recording this. And of course, I live in Kansas.
1:04.5	So this is not a new thing in Kansas. We are known for tornadoes. However, in the past couple of years,
1:10.2	we really haven't had that many of them.

1:36.1	And I remember being so scared because I remember I was at my dad's house when it happened, and I knew from what was happening on the
1:46.8	television that it was potentially hitting my mom's house. And I remember how scary that was.
1:51.8	But anyway, thankfully, no one was hurt. The tornado was on the ground for about 20 minutes,
1:57.7	and it really, oh, wow, the damage. So many houses just gone and a couple of my
2:06.1	daughter's friends lost their homes, a couple of my sorority sisters lost their homes. It's a
2:11.4	small community, right? So I live in Wichita and Andover is where the tornado hit and in Andover is the suburb. That's where,
2:20.1	you know, many of our, our friends live. And also the YMCA that the boyfriend goes to almost every day got hit so much so that you could just, I mean, you can recognize it because you can see the signs,
2:35.7	but wow, you know, moments before people got out of their cars, got inside, got ushered into
