0:00.0	Welcome to the Widowed Mom podcast, Episode 19, Tasks of Morning.
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.
0:32.7	Hey, everybody. Welcome back to the podcast. I have two words for you right now in this season that we are in. Pumpkin and spice. I know that it is now supposedly not cool to like pumpkin spice. My daughter, she's almost 16 actually. That's coming up. Holy cow. She tells me that to like pumpkin spice is
0:56.7	considered to be basic, which is a word that apparently is an insult. If you're basic, it's just like
1:05.7	you're stereotypical. You're so basic. So I guess I'm basic because I like pumpkin spice. Now, I'm not going to go
1:15.0	crazy. I saw a little meme floating around for pumpkin spice spam. I'm not going there. But I do like
1:22.5	fall. And pumpkin spice is a part of fall. So I'm celebrating pumpkin spice. I don't care if it's basic.
1:29.2	Join me if you will. All right. Before we jump into, I know, a really exciting and uplifting
1:37.4	topic, the tasks of morning, I want to read a podcast review. This is important to me because as you know, you've heard in past episodes,
1:46.3	I want to reach a million widows with this podcast. The statistics I read said there are nearly
1:51.4	12 million of us in the U.S. I want to reach at least one million and help them. And reviews
1:57.4	help broaden the reach of the podcast. So this one came from someone who actually
2:03.8	kind of did two titles. There's no real name. It says, love it so much as the username and the
2:09.2	title is so real and practical. And that person wrote, losing a spouse is life altering.
2:15.6	Krista is empathetic, real, and compassionate.
2:21.5	She offers practical advice on moving through the process using her experiences.
2:23.8	Thank you for taking time to do that.
2:29.9	Whatever your name is, I appreciate you, I see you, and I'm so grateful to have you as a listener.
2:33.6	So, okay, tasks of mourning.
2:41.3	Now, you have probably heard me talk before, and hopefully it wasn't actually news to you,
2:48.7	but to bust this whole idea that there are stages of grief, there are no stages of grief. That's just something that came out of Elizabeth Kubler-Ross's work on
