Losing a spouse changes everything, emotionally, mentally, and financially. But while grief is often discussed, the money struggles that come with it are rarely part of the conversation, or just grief in general. From paperwork and decisions to pressure and overwhelm, surviving spouses are often expected to figure it all out. In this episode, Certified Financial Planner and Air Force veteran, Daniel Kopp, talks about the financial side of grief, what widows and widowers really face after loss, the emotional weight behind every decision, and how to find stability when your world feels upside down. He shares both his personal experience and professional insights on navigating life after loss. Daniel Kopp, MA, MS, CFP ®, is a fee-only financial planner, financial therapist, and founder of Wise Stewardship Financial Planning, where he helps young widows and widowers as well as military members organize their financial lives by aligning money with their deeply-held values.  He leverages his experiences as a widower and Air Force veteran to offer a deeper level of engagement and connection with his clients. He is also an XYPN and NAPFA member, as well as being a founding board member of the Military Financial Advisors Association (MFAA). Daniel's education includes his undergraduate with a BS in Economics from Purdue University with highest distinction, an MA from American Military University, a Graduate Certificate in Financial Therapy and an MS in Personal Financial Planning from Kansas State University (KSU).

In this soulful episode of Radio Medium Laura Lee, intuitive medium Laura connects with Andrea from Virginia, sharing a powerful message from her biological mother in spirit. Once confined to a wheelchair, her mother encourages Andrea to stay active—not only physically but socially and emotionally. She urges Andrea to take the lead in her dating life, especially as a promising new connection begins to take shape. The spirit world acknowledges Andrea's deep desire for love, her cautious approach to online dating, and her habit of thoroughly researching potential matches. With the help of a new friend, Andrea is gently nudged to step out of her comfort zone—particularly for an upcoming concert, which could be a pivotal moment. Her mother's message is clear: meaningful relationships are often found in real life, beyond the apps.

In this special episode of The Widow Podcast, I'm sharing something really close to my heart. Earlier this year, I invited three amazing women, Nikki, Becky and Wendy, into the Remember community to share their stories. Stories of love, of loss, of navigating life after the unthinkable. They spoke with such honesty and vulnerability, and it was one of the most powerful sessions we've had. I knew straight away I wanted more people to hear it. What I love about this conversation is how different each of their experiences have been. It show us how there's no right way to grieve, and hearing those contrasts side by side really brings that home. They talk about what helped, what didn't, the pain of parenting through grief, the shifts in friendships, the moments that caught them off guard, and the ways they're slowly creating a new version of life. In this episode, we explore: • The very real, very messy early days of widowhood • How grief affects identity and friendships • The fear of forgetting and the ways we stay connected • The little things that help, and the things that really don't • What it looks like to build a life around your loss • Giving yourself permission to feel joy, without guilt Resources and Links Join the Widows Membership: karensutton.co.uk/the-widow-membership Explore my retreats and coaching: karensutton.co.uk

I had the privilege of interviewing Mary Ann Kenny, author of The Episode: A True Story of Loss, Madness and Healing.   Mary Ann is a lecturer, writer, and mother who shares her deeply personal journey with honesty and courage.   In our conversation, Mary Ann opens up about the unimaginable: the sudden loss of her husband John, who died while out for a jog just days after her 50th birthday.   Grief quickly spiralled into severe mental distress, and within a few months, she found herself being treated in a psychiatric hospital, struggling through psychosis and depression'   Her story is one of heartbreak, survival, and incredible resilience — and of how she slowly found her way back to herself, rebuilding life piece by piece.   It's a powerful, moving chat about grief, mental health, and hope. I'm so grateful to Mary Ann for sharing her story. She is such a fantastic, strong woman and I can't wait for you to hear her story. Click play and let's dive in

Black-and-white thinking shows up everywhere in grief - in the harsh judgments we make about ourselves, in the impossible standards we hold ourselves to, and in the rigid rules we create about how healing should look.   It's that voice that says you're either doing grief "right" or you're failing completely, with no room for the messy middle ground where most of us actually live.   In this week's episode, you'll learn a more gentle way of thinking about your grief journey. I show you how to break free from black-and-white thinking, and why making space for nuance might be exactly what you need.    Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://www.coachingwithkrista.com/318

In this heartfelt episode of Lifted, Tembi Locke is joined by actress, dancer, author, and television host Amanda Kloots for an honest conversation about surviving loss, choosing joy, and redefining what it means to move forward with grief. Amanda opens up about the devastating loss of her husband, Broadway actor Nick Cordero, during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic – a time marked by uncertainty, heartbreak, and visibility in the public eye. She reflects on how she leaned into movement, routine, motherhood, and creativity to stay grounded during unimaginable sorrow. Together, Amanda and Tembi explore what it means to hold grief and gratitude in the same breath, how community became an unexpected source of support and connection throughout her caregiving experience, and how, sometimes, life grants miracles in radically unexpected ways. Her story is a testament to the unpredictable shape of healing and the quiet bravery of showing up after everything has changed. Key themes: grief and public mourning, solo parenting, movement and healing, resilience, fitness, hope, caregiving, motherhood after loss, creative expression, dreams unfolding in unexpected ways Mentioned: Live Your Life (book), Nick Cordero, The Talk (TV show), AK!

While cleaning light fixtures in my home, I discovered layers of built-up dirt that had dimmed what were actually crystal-clear glass fixtures. For years, I had accepted the clouded appearance as normal, never questioning if something better lay beneath. This simple household revelation sparked a powerful metaphor for how we often settle into life after loss.   I understand firsthand how we can unknowingly plateau in our grief journey. We reach a point where we're functioning and surviving, but not truly thriving.    If you feel like you're in a grief plateau - that space after the sharp edge of loss has dulled, but life still feels flat and uninspired - this episode is for you.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://www.coachingwithkrista.com/316

Laken opens up about navigating life after pregnancy loss, the experience of having a rainbow baby, and the emotional impact of common questions like “How many kids do you have?” We also discuss the importance of monitoring the placenta during pregnancy and the need for better representation of pregnancy loss on TV.

We would never dream of waking up one morning and just going to run a marathon. Yet, we often do that with Christian life. Then we hit that wall at the 18th mile and want to drop out. A phase of my own life that nearly took my faith out at the knees was when we lost our baby to miscarriage. Death is something that doesn't neatly fit into our boxes and leaves us asking a lot of questions about our faith. But the Christian faith in resurrection holds a path of hope through the valley of the shadow of death. What has led you to write about death and loss in families?Your husband died while your family was exploring in a national park, have you guys always loved the outdoor world? Do you still love it or is that something you left behind? What did God show you about Himself during grief?

Living a full and meaningful life after loss isn't about waiting until you feel completely ready - it's about recognizing the subtle signs that you're prepared to take those first steps forward.   Many widowed moms find themselves in what I call a "grief plateau." If this is you, it's time to move beyond merely surviving to truly thriving. In this episode, I explore the five key signs that suggest you're more ready than you think to love life again, even if uncertainty and sadness still linger.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://www.coachingwithkrista.com/314

Graeme Smith is joined by writer and Queer I Am podcast host Andrew Flewitt for a deeply personal conversation about queer grief — the kind that isn't always spoken about, but lives quietly inside so many of us.Andrew's new book, Do You Believe in Life After Loss?, explores the grief queer people carry: the loss of lovers, of friends taken too soon — and the quieter griefs too. The ones tied to shame, family estrangement, and the delayed onset of emotional adulthood many LGBTQ+ people experience because the world won't let us.This is a raw, open-hearted episode about making space for grief, telling the truth about loss, and finding meaning on the other side of it.---THIS IS OUTCAST WORLD ---Like and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts and please leave a review.

What if your body held the key to the confidence, clarity, and creative power you've been chasing in your mind? In a culture that rewards logic, productivity, and stillness, so many women have been shamed into silence, not just verbally, but physically. In this episode of Wickedly Smart Women, host Anjel B. Hartwell interviews Amy Schadt, certified life coach and embodiment expert, to explore what it means to reclaim movement. Amy shares her journey from being a shy, voiceless child to a dynamic force for healing through her Radical Embodiment Method. From her early years as a dancer to the profound loss of her fiancé and the grief that followed, Amy opens up about how embodiment has been both her refuge and revolution.  Whether you're a creative aching for space to breathe, a woman recovering from trauma, or a leader craving more alignment in your entrepreneurial journey, this episode is your map. Because when you come back to your body, you come back to your power. What You Will Learn: Movement can be a powerful and valid form of communication, especially for those who struggle to express themselves verbally. Early childhood movement, like dance or physical play, is a natural way of processing emotion. Embodiment is not just a trendy concept, it's a deeply personal journey of reclaiming presence, sensation, and self-expression. Personal loss, such as the death of a loved one, can become a catalyst for transformation and rebirth through embodied healing. Entrepreneurship can be an empowering path for creatives who want to earn income in alignment with their values and passions. Many creatives struggle with subconscious beliefs that money is harmful or will rob them of authenticity. Embodied practices can help entrepreneurs navigate fear, burnout, and identity shifts as they step into leadership. Physical movement can support emotional regulation and self-soothing. Healing the body-mind disconnect can unlock access to deeper self-awareness, personal power, and creative flow. Shame around moving “too much” or “being too much” is often rooted in outdated expectations and can be released through embodiment work. Connect with Amy Schadt Website Connect with Anjel B.

Anya mindig szeretett ide jönni."En: "I remember, darling. Anya always loved coming here."Hu: Ilona kíváncsi szemekkel nézett apjára.En: Ilona looked at her father with curious eyes.Hu: "Miért nem jövünk többet ide, papa?"En: "Why don't we come here more often, papa?"Hu: Zoltán mélyet sóhajtott.En: Zoltán sighed deeply.Hu: Nehéz beszélni a fájdalmukról.En: It was difficult to talk about their pain.Hu: De tudta, hogy itt az ideje megnyílni Ilonának.En: But he knew it was time to open up to Ilona.Hu: "Azért akartam, hogy ma itt legyünk, hogy új szép emlékeket teremtsünk, kettesben. Tudod, anya is ezt szeretné."En: "I wanted us to be here today to create new beautiful memories, just the two of us. You know, anya would want that."Hu: Ilona csendes lett, ahogy a madarakat figyelte a fa tetején.En: Ilona became quiet as she watched the birds at the top of the tree.Hu: "Hiányzik anya," mondta végül.En: "I miss anya," she finally said.Hu: Zoltán közelebb húzódott hozzá.En: Zoltán moved closer to her.Hu: "Nekem is hiányzik, Ilona. Mindig is hiányozni fog.En: "I miss her too, Ilona. She will always be missed.Hu: De az rendben van, ha néha szomorú vagyunk, és közben boldogok is.En: But it's okay for us to be sometimes sad and sometimes happy.Hu: Anya mindig a szívünkben fog élni, bárhol is vagyunk."En: Anya will always live in our hearts, no matter where we are."Hu: A parkban a levelek susogtak, ahogy a szél végigsöpört rajtuk.En: In the park, the leaves rustled as the wind swept through them.Hu: Zoltán és Ilona együtt töltötték a napot: piknikeztek, játszottak, és nevettek.En: Zoltán and Ilona spent the day together: they picnicked, played, and laughed.Hu: Ahogy az ég elhalványult, és a nap lenyugodott, új ígéretet tettek egymásnak.En: As the sky faded and the sun set, they made a new promise to each other.Hu: "Jöjjünk el gyakrabban, papa," javasolta Ilona, ahogy kezét apja kezébe fűzte.En: "Let's come here more often, papa," suggested Ilona, as she intertwined her hand with her father's.Hu: "Így együtt emlékezhetünk meg anyáról."En: "That way, we can remember anya together."Hu: Zoltán bólintott, könnyekkel a szemében, de mosolygott.En: Zoltán nodded, tears in his eyes, but he smiled.Hu: "Igen, kicsim. Gyakran jövünk majd.En: "Yes, darling. We will come often.Hu: És mindig új boldog pillanatokat teremtünk."En: And we will always create new happy moments."Hu: Aznap este egy nagyot léptek előre.En: That evening, they took a big step forward.Hu: Zoltán rájött, hogy a megosztott érzések erősíthetik a kapcsolatukat.En: Zoltán realized that shared feelings could strengthen their bond.Hu: Ilona pedig megértette, hogy a boldogság és a szomorúság kéz a kézben járhatnak, és hogy emlékeik továbbra is velük maradnak, bármerre is vezet az élet útja.En: Ilona understood that happiness and sadness could go hand in hand, and that their memories would stay with them, no matter where life's journey led.

In this powerful episode of Feel Free Again, I sit down with my dear friend and grief recovery pioneer, Arturo Albin, to talk about life, legacy, and what it means to truly heal. Arturo shares his remarkable journey from being an industrial engineer to becoming a leader in emotional healing—bringing the Grief Recovery Method to Mexico and the broader Spanish-speaking world.   Together, we explore the pain of divorce, the loss of a child, and the silent heartbreaks so many carry. Arturo's courage in facing his grief—and his choice to turn it into a mission to help others—is inspiring and deeply moving. From losing his wife to building something lasting for generations to come, this is a story about redemption, healing, and emotional resilience. We also discuss how grief isn't limited to death. It includes divorce, estrangement, broken dreams—even the loss of a pet. And most importantly, we dive into how grief recovery tools allow us to not only survive, but to love and live fully again. Whether you're heartbroken, curious about healing, or looking to help others, this conversation will leave a lasting imprint on your heart.   More about Arturo: https://www.griefrecoverymethod.com/about-us/arturo-albin Arturo became involved with grief work when he volunteered at his parish to become part of their bereavement team. It was very rewarding, but he was not satisfied. He could listen to the grievers, but he didn't know how to help them. And then he discovered The Grief Recovery Method and went through extensive training with the Grief Recovery Institute, both in Mexico and in the United States.   At last he could guide people to help them work effectively on their emotional recovery. Arturo was so excited with his new Grief Recovery skills that he left a 30-year career in finance and systems and along with his wife, Alejandra, decided to start the Institute affiliate in Mexico to be able to reach more grievers to help them move beyond their pain.

Through years of hosting dinner parties with fellow grievers, Carla Fernandez, writes that she learned to approach grief without sweeping it under the rug. “I learned about approaching grief less as a noun, a thing to distance ourselves from, and more as a verb,” as she writes in her new book, “Renegade Grief: A Guide to the Wild Ride of Life After Loss.” Fernandez lost her father to brain cancer when she was 21. Well after the funeral and support tapered off, she realized she wasn't done grieving and didn't have an outlet for her experiences, so she co-founded The Dinner Party in 2014 to bring other young adults together to share food and process grief. Fernandez joins us to talk about how to navigate grief as an ongoing journey. Guest: Carla Fernandez, co-founder, The Dinner Party; author of the book “Renegade Grief: A Guide to the Wild Ride of Life After Loss.”

Carla Fernandez lost her father to cancer the same year she turned 21, and subsequently hosted a dinner party for some friends who'd also experienced loss at a young age. This gathering launched a global community and support group for those navigating grief, from which she has learned the lessons distilled in her new book, Renegade Grief: A Guide to the Wild Ride of Life After Loss.

Today's guest is Julie Cluff, a hope and grief coach, who shares her profound journey of loss and transformation after the tragic death of her two children in a car accident. Julie discusses the impact of grief, the importance of self-compassion, and the process of reclaiming joy after loss. She emphasizes the significance of sharing our stories and the potential for generational healing through personal growth. The conversation highlights the challenges of navigating grief and the transformative power of embracing our experiences to foster healing and connection. Key Takeaways: The hardest things can lead to profound transformation. Grief is a complex journey that requires time and compassion. Self-compassion is crucial in the healing process. Finding joy again is a relearning process after loss. Sharing our stories can inspire and help others heal. Generational healing can occur through personal growth and self-love. Pain often drives us to seek help and change our lives. Healing is not linear; it involves ups and downs. We can reclaim our space and redefine our relationship with grief. Transformation requires us to build a new foundation after loss. More from Julie: After losing my brother John to suicide and going through a painful divorce, I was left to pick up the pieces with my three young children. I remarried and following the births of three more children, my husband Ron and I built a remarkable life together blending our beautiful family with our six children. Then on Mother's Day, May 13, 2007, tragedy entered our life once again when our two youngest children, Carrie (10) and David (8) were killed in a car accident. For three years, I experienced profound, unimaginable grief. The pain was incomprehensible. However, in May 2010, my soul awakened to the beauty of life, and my life was transformed overnight as the miracle of healing entered my being. Through my personal healing experiences with spiritual guidance to share my story to help others, I developed the Build a Life After Loss podcast and programs, including the HOPE Model of Healing. Over the years, following these painful losses, I learned to communicate with my brother and children beyond the veil. I have often felt like I live in two worlds – the physical and the spiritual. As I worked with many grief clients I often felt their departed loved ones assisting in bringing love and light to their family members during our sessions. Then one summer day in 2020 in a remarkable moment I unexpectedly felt the distinct presence of a friend's son who had recently passed away. Not knowing what else to do I wrote down the messages that I was receiving from him and later shared those messages with his mother. These extraordinary experiences kept happening as I felt the presence of angels, spirit guides and loved ones leading the sessions with clients. I am forever grateful for the opportunity to bring this love and light to my clients as a spiritual guide between worlds. In addition to training and many years of experience in life and grief coaching, I am trained in energy work, angel readings, religious trauma, reiki, mediumship, EFT tapping, astrology, human design, and more. As we work together, I look forward to customizing a coaching experience specifically for you.
