0:00.0	Welcome to the Widowed Mom Podcast, Episode 24, Happier Holidays After Loss.
0:10.2	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 there, welcome to another episode of the podcast. Glad that you made it back again. I'm doing this
0:41.9	episode a little bit earlier than maybe you might anticipate. But the reason is that I want you to be

2:03.9	And the title of the review is Seven Years of Grieving.
2:08.4	She wrote, wow, only on the third episode, and I feel like she is sitting with me, speaking to me.
2:15.5	It's hard to find someone who gets it. Even my wonderful therapist doesn't
2:20.0	get it, as she has not lost a spouse. Krista is soothing my soul. I'm entering into my seventh year
