In this episode of The Widow Podcast, I explore what it really means to show up for yourself in grief.
Grief can turn our world upside down, leaving us feeling lost, disconnected, and unsure of who we are anymore. In this conversation, I share my own experiences and offer gentle, practical ways to begin rebuilding trust, safety, and compassion within yourself.
We discuss:
 • Why showing up for yourself in grief is so powerful • How grief changes our sense of identity and self-worth • The importance of small, consistent steps rather than perfection • Practical tools such as habit stacking, breathing, journaling, and pausing • How nervous system regulation plays a role in healing • Learning to listen to your body’s wisdom and needs • Why self-compassion is essential, not optional
If you’re navigating life after loss and wondering how to care for yourself when everything feels overwhelming, this episode offers support, tools, and gentle encouragement to take one small step at a time.
Awakening Hope
I’d love you to join me for Awakening Hope, a free five-day immersive experience for widows and surviving partners, running 22–26 September 2025. Together we’ll explore how to face feelings, cultivate self-compassion, and rediscover who we are after loss.
