Summary

Join me this week as I outline the three reasons you might be struggling to move on, through, or forward. The truth is that there is no end destination to grief, and it may well be with you forever, but that doesn’t have to be bad news. I’m showing you why the things that are holding you back now are not actually necessary like you might think, and how to start giving yourself permission to live the way you want.

0:00.0	Welcome to the Widowed Mom podcast, episode 90, moving on, through, or forward.
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, we are going to jump right into the podcast. So if this is your first time listening,
0:40.6	welcome, welcome, welcome. I'm glad you're here. I wonder if you struggle to quote unquote move on.
0:49.5	If so, here's why I think you're probably struggling to move on. Because moving on sounds like you're
1:01.3	leaving him behind. Moving on makes it seem like you don't care. Moving on feels almost like you didn't like your life with him, and so you just chose a new one.

1:24.7	It really isn't.
1:26.4	It's to help you remove a potential roadblock that might be
1:31.2	preventing you from loving your life again, which is what I'm all about. But sometimes semantics matter

1:53.5	moving forward, not because one is right or wrong, but because I want you to pick what is serving the results that you want to create in your life. I want you to be the one that decides.
1:59.3	What's right for you? Okay?
2:05.9	So first, we need to acknowledge that grief does not have a finish line.
2:11.2	And if you've listened to me for any time at all, I'm sure you have heard me say this before, right?
2:13.2	Grief doesn't have a finish line.
2:15.4	It is not a journey with a destination.
2:20.2	Grief is a natural response to a perceived loss.
2:26.3	It is made up of our unique thoughts and feelings and experiences.
