Summary

Listen in on our conversation as I ask Dawne on how she was coping with her earlier days of grief and how that had evolved once we started working together. I think you’ll be able to relate to Dawne’s resistance to her painful emotions, and how processing them was vital to let them flow and ease up. Dawne had many "aha" moments along the way, and I hope you’ll find hope in her story for your own journey.

0:00.0	Welcome to the Widowed Mom Podcast, Episode 56, Widows Unfiltered, an interview with Dawn Long.
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. I'm excited to bring this interview to you from one of my
0:41.0	former clients, Don Long. And I think you're going to love listening to Don's story. What I encourage you to do
0:47.0	is to listen and see what you can apply from what Don has learned through her journey in losing her husband
0:55.4	and all of the coaching that she received and the way that she sees the world and the way
1:00.2	that she sees herself differently now as a result, I encourage you to think about how you
1:05.9	can apply that to your life. I also want to caution you because I know this happens to all of us.
1:12.8	If you notice your brain comparing where she is to where you are in a way that is
1:18.0	unuseful to you, you don't have to listen to the comparisons that your brain is offering.
1:23.4	We never do. And so many times when we hear someone's story, our brain sets about comparing and
1:30.5	unfortunately despairing. So I want you to use Don's story in a way that serves you, in a way that
1:36.0	lifts you up, in a way that inspires you. I want you to find something useful here. And if your brain
1:41.0	offers you anything else that isn't useful, just let that float right on by.
1:45.0	Okay. I hope you enjoy this interview with Don and we'll jump right on in.
1:51.1	Welcome, Don, to the podcast. I'm really glad to have you. Thank you. Thank you for agreeing to do it.
1:56.9	I really wanted to have you on because I think a lot of people will relate to your story.
2:03.1	And not only your story of how you lost your husband, but really your story about what's
2:09.5	happened since then, what you were feeling and experiencing when you came to me and before
2:15.3	we started coaching and how things have changed for you since then
2:20.6	what life is now like compared to what it was like when you were in, I would say, the earlier
