BE AWARE: This episode discusses themes of loss, grief, and death, which may be sensitive topics for some listeners. Summary: In this moving episode, Stewart interviews his daughter, Ashley, about the deep grief she has experienced in the last 12 months. Ashley shares her journey of supporting her partner through his early diagnosis of cancer, their engagement, an elopement due to COVID and the devastating news that the cancer had spread. She discusses the challenges of planning a wedding while facing uncertainty and the pain of losing her husband just three months after their public wedding. Ashley opens up about her struggles with faith, questions of God, and finding strength to keep going. She emphasizes the importance of showing up and sitting with someone in their pain, rather than trying to fix it. In this conversation, Ashley and Stewart discuss the challenges of reconciling pain and suffering with the belief in an all-powerful and loving God. They emphasize the importance of living in the tension of not having all the answers and accepting that some questions may never be fully answered. Ashley also highlights the importance of deciding who God is before the storm hits and inviting Him into the pain, the confusion and the struggle. The conversation explores the ongoing journey of wrestling with God and navigating grief, while also offering hope and encouragement to others facing similar struggles. In this episode you will discover: 1. Grief is a complex journey marked by ebbs and flows, with ongoing healing being a process rather than a destination. 2. Trusting God in times of pain and suffering doesn't guarantee immediate relief but allows for His comforting presence and the hope of a greater purpose. 3. Being present and listening without offering platitudes is crucial when supporting someone in pain. Genuine care and empathy are responses that really matters. 4. Trusting God means acknowledging His presence in the pain and accepting that His plans may differ from our desires yet choosing to turn to Him for comfort and guidance. 5. Seeking comfort in God, even in the middle of hardship, can bring a level of peace and hope. 6. Embracing unanswered questions and living in the tension of pain and hope is an expression of faith and trust in an often hard to understand God. …and more!

Since then, a lot has happened in Amber's life and today we are going to talk about the accidental trauma she had to deal with just over 6 months ago. She survived a fall from a zipline, but she will tell us more about this in her own words. What inspired me to ask Amber to be my guest again is the way she is dealing with trauma and grief. She is a beacon of light and a living model of finding joy in life and admitting its hardship. I admire her and her ability to pick herself off, dust herself off and start all over again – as in Nat King Cole's song. About this week's guest Amber Jackson is a single mom of four (one with special needs) and a divorce survivor, cancer widow, fun-seeker, and lover of all things having to do with kitchen dance parties and cheesecake. She is a certified public speaker and loves speaking to women and teens about finding joy in the unexpected. Life's challenges haven't stopped her from living life to the fullest. Amber is a self-proclaimed life enthusiast and is determined to see everything that life has to offer, including the bad, as something she can learn from. She has a huge appreciation for life and all the things that make one happy. She believes that all lights twinkle, that there can be magic laced in music and there is strength in even the smallest of breaths.IG: @enjoyinghollandAmber's first episode: Life as a Young Widow with Four ChildrenResources mentioned in this episodeIf you need personal support dealing with your trauma, please visit Nathalie's website for more resources: https://nathaliehimmelrich.com/Support the Show.Support the show: Become a supporter of the show!

Sarah is excited to be sharing another special interview as she had the opportunity to record an episode with one of her real-life close friends, Megan Bomar. ⚠️ Before you listen, we do want to give you a trigger warning for this episode. Murder and crime are discussed in this conversation. ⚠️ Megan is originally from Iowa and after attending GCU decided to put roots down here in Arizona. She was raised Catholic but became a Christian as a high schooler and has walked with the Lord ever since. Megan works as a middle school special needs teacher and has been regularly attending Desert Springs for the past five years. She met Sarah in a Connect Group shortly after graduating college and they developed a friendship after Megan was challenged to meet five new people for coffee. Megan met her husband Tate when a friend from college attempted to set them up through FaceTime and though it was kind of funny at first, they realized they had a connection and soon began talking non-stop over messages. You'll hear Megan sweetly recount their early dating months and how they knew they wanted to be together even as she was preparing to spend some time teaching in Thailand. They were married in November 2019. Like many married couples their first year of marriage had its challenges but overall, it was a great year filled with fun experiences and great conversations. They also had taken a lot of time to be intentional with their family and friends, taking their relationships to a deeper level. On November 29th, 2020, Megan's life was very suddenly changed forever. Late on that Sunday night Tate told Megan that he needed to go help a friend who was struggling. This began a tragic series of events that would ultimately bring about Tate's death. Megan walks us through what the next 72 hours looked like as she discovered things she was unaware of and how she came to know that her husband had died. She was soon face to face with the fact that at age 27 she had become a widow. We so appreciate Megan's openness and vulnerability in sharing this part of her life. There is a lot to be learned from the way she has leaned into the Lord and community through the last three years. You will be amazed as she details God's hand in her life and where she is at now. Megan gives practical advice for someone going through a time of grieving and Sarah also gives advice about being a friend to someone who is grieving. We trust and pray that God will continue to see Megan through this chapter of her life.

Mira Simone joins Jaclyn in this episode for an open and important discussion about kindness within the grief space.Trigger warning. This interview discusses a specific person's experience with death and trauma. Mira is a widow, mother, published writer, grief coach, and grief educator. She is also a registered mental health occupational therapist in Ontario, Canada.In early 2019, Mira's life was entirely blown apart, when her partner Brian was diagnosed with an unbelievably aggressive cancer. He died seven weeks later, leaving her alone with their almost three-year-old daughter. Almost immediately, Mira followed an uncontrollable urge to write about her grief publicly on social media and began publishing essays, as a way to process and give voice to the loneliness of her experience. The response was profound. Her following grew, as more and more widows, grievers, and grief-curious humans joined her community, craving a more open dialogue around the grieving process.In 2022, Mira launched New Moon Mira, her grief coaching business, through which she supports widows and grievers in more intimate group settings both in-person and online and provides grief literacy training for grief-support people and healthcare professionals.This podcast is one of the many ways we live out our organization's mission to educate and inspire people to choose kindness.

YOUNG WIDOW BROWN 50-10-09 3141 Journal Written In Captivity
On this episode of Allison Answers, Kathryn Monaco-Douglas shares her inspiring story of turning tragedy into triumph by starting her own support group “Widowed Not Alone” for widows and widowers. Kathryn lost her husband when he was only 44 years old, and was told she had to wait 3 months before joining a support group. She also struggled to find a therapist she connected with and felt alone in her grief and pain.Kathryn felt that widows and widowers were missing adequate support in those early days of grief, and she was determined to change that. Kathryn became a grief coach and built support groups for people grieving the loss of their spouse. As Kathryn explains, grief is a complex and multi-layered process, and it's not something that can be overcome overnight. It takes time, patience, and the right kind of support to heal.Oftentimes, grief can grip us in a way that feels paralyzing and we get stuck in a fog that feels impossible to clear. Going about regular habits may not feel right, but Kathryn and Alison are here to tell you that you are strong and you have to keep going, but you don't have to do it alone. It's okay to ask for help, and there are many resources available for those who are grieving. Whether it's joining a support group, seeing a therapist, or talking to friends and family, there are many ways to get the help and support you need.In this episode, Kathryn explains how her support group for widows is different from others, how she felt she lost her identity when her husband died, how she navigated dating and re-marrying, the trauma and PTSD that can come with losing a spouse, and how her support group “Widowed Not Alone” is changing lives by bringing hope and healing.Key highlights:The loss of Kathryn's husbandHow Kathryn helps other widows navigate loss and griefWhy Widowed Not Alone is different from other grief programsThe identity loss that can happen after losing a partnerPTSD after lossWhat to look for in a therapistIf you are dealing with grief, don't hold it in - reach out for helpHow to get involved with Kathryn's programsConnect with Kathryn Monaco-Douglas:Website: widowednotalone.comInstagram: @widowednotalonePublic Facebook Page: St. Matthew's Young Widow and Widowers GroupConnect with Alison:Instagram: @alisonanswers | @lagercounselingWebsite: LagerCounseling.comYouTube: Alison AnswersFacebook: Alison Lager Lcsw CasacPurchase Alison's book: “The Wake Up Call”Alison Answers Facebook Group: Join HEREWomen of Excellence FB group: Join HERE

Being an eternal optimist means always looking on the bright side and having hope, no matter what obstacles might attempt to push you off your path. Some people may not necessarily be eternal optimists. However, they've become incredibly good at reframing a challenging situation for the better. I would say I am more of a "reframing" type. However, this week's guest, Laurie-Ann, can remember being an eternal optimist since she was a little girl. And as I dug more deeply during our conversation, it was discovered that being the strong one for those around her was a behavior emulated by her mother as she grew up. Laurie-Ann shares about the loss of her mother very recently to cancer and the death of her first husband, where she found herself a widow at age 36 before they even reached their first anniversary. She additionally shares a funny story about her father. A bike accident caused him to go blind in one eye. However, that did not deter her from offering her father a little perspective, probably when he needed it most. We all have a story to tell. Laurie-Ann helps others tell their stories through authentic storytelling. Loss has shaped her as a speaking coach and how she shows up on stage and writes her speeches. But perhaps, her optimistic energy has helped her stay grounded in the one thing she knows how to do and what she does best - reframe the weave the worst of stories into a tapestry of gold.

She lost her husband Tim just seven months ago after a 16-months battle with cancer. She now is the captain steering the ship of her family, running a household with four children under twelve, at the same time as tending to her grief and her own needs.Amber is a guiding light as to the resilience she draws from, inspiring with her version of grieving seeing it as a sacred time while also growing and evolving as her own person and in her life after the loss of her soulmate. She believes that ‘laughing means singing Tim's song' and it is a way to show her love for him. Amber shares this beautiful advice she picked up early on after her husband died:About this week's guest Amber Jackson is a mom of four (one with special needs) and a cancer widow but that hasn't stopped her from living life to the fullest.

Sensitive content: death and dying; grieving the loss of a loved one. This week's episode is much heavier than you've heard on the show in a while, because my dear friend Alyse Dusseault has graciously agreed to share with you how she found her way to podcasting following the unthinkable loss of a loved one. We can get so busy running on the hamster wheel of content creation that we lose sight of what matters most: creating a meaningful and long-lasting relationship with our audience. In this conversation with Alyse, you'll be reminded of how important it is to: podcast authentically; emotionally connect with your audience; be vulnerable in sharing your story; courageously lead conversations around heavy topics; show up on the mic with confidence (even before you're an expert); and most importantly, go give a hug to those you love most. I hope you find value and healing in this episode, and I really hope you find something that you can carry with you in a meaningful way.ABOUT ALYSE DUSSEAULT:As Alyse Dusseault started to experience extreme anxiety brought on by the grief of losing her fiancé when she was just 28 years old, a friend recommended she try reiki healing. Her first reiki session blew her away, because it resulted in her grief-driven anxiety completely dissipating. It was around that time that Alyse started exploring the many aspects of spirituality, and she started tapping into her own intuitive gifts. Unsurprisingly, she felt a strong connection to reiki and wanted to help others to experience the same healing energy that she did. As she learned how to “live” with her grief, she discovered a few things about connection, navigating relationships after loss, and how our relationships with departed loved ones can evolve even after they pass – and hence, her podcast Grief Awakening was born.CONNECT WITH GUEST:Website: https://www.intuitivelyalyse.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/intuitively_alysePodcast: https://apple.co/3Oo0cqY MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: Connect with Kim Salter: https://www.instagram.com/designthoughtsstudio Get the book Signs: The Secret Language of the Universe by Laura Lynne Jackson: https://amzn.to/3PHH9s9 Giant pink elephant on Charlotte Pike in Nashville, TN: https://tinyurl.com/4vbxjx3bCONNECT FURTHER WITH ANGIE:Podcast: https://www.yougetwhatimsaying.com Listen Early and Dynamic Ad-Free on Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/44Y6rbYSocial Media: https://beacons.ai/theactualangie/socialmedia Contact: yougetwhatimsaying.podcast@gmail.com Monetize Your Podcast: https://beacons.ai/theactualangie/monetizeSupport the Show: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/yougetit/membershipADVERTISE ON THE SHOW: To inquire about host-read ads or to become the show's next Presenting Sponsor, please send an email to yougetwhatimsaying.podcast@gmail.com.EPISODE CREDITS:Podcast Logo: Abby MurdockPodcast Cover Photography: April Bowers CreativeBE ADVISED:On August 22, 2023, host Angie Griffith announced through publishing the 115th episode of the podcast that the heart of the show would be redirected towards Jesus and away from the new age spirituality and practices that are widely observed in the online business space.

Last week in the WidowSquad weekly meeting, we were doing a group exercise and choosing our Word Of The Year. Are you familiar with this exercise? It's a very powerful tool to help us stay motivated and focused throughout the year. One of our lovely WidowSquad members chose the word PATIENCE. Great word, right?! She felt like she needed to have more patience with herself. She noticed she was being really hard on herself for "not feeling better by now". This sparked a whole conversation about how this healing process takes time. Grieving takes time. Healing a broken heart takes time. I hope you enjoy this episode and please share it with a friend!

Still, no suspect has been named in the death of Jared Bridegan. The 33-year-old Microsoft executive drops his twins off at the home of his ex-wife, Shanna Gardner-Fernandez. Bridegan is with his 2-year-daughter as he drives home. On their way home, Bridegan stops to remove a tire from the middle of the road. There's no room to drive around it. That's when the Microsoft executive is shot and killed by an unknown assailant. The little girl, Bexley, is reportedly in the car for several minutes as her father dies. Bridegan has been in lengthy custody and alimony disputes with his former wife and reportedly she has now hired a high-powered criminal defense attorney. The investigation continues.

Have you lost someone close to you? Hard to make sense of it? What does it say about God? What do you know about heaven? My biggest takeaways after being widowed at 38 were mostly about God. My faith grew as I saw how God is outside of time and space, He heals hearts and makes beauty from ashes. He defeated death and makes death bearable. We are made in His image and made to love. We can love again and find happiness! Join our WELL Facebook group for more support and encouragement to refill daily with faith, self care, health and wellness!

Angela! She is our guest today on the podcast and let me tell you a little about this amazing woman! She lost her son, Cole at age 15 to brain cancer. While Kels and I can relate to losing a child, what came next we cannot. She then lost her husband right before the pandemic. To go through grief, lose your spouse and then become isolated when the world shut down. Was a whole other level for Angela. The way she climbed out of that grief is inspiring. She also started a foundation in Cole's honor. It's called The Cole Project. They focus on peer to peer music based support services for grief and healing. "Where words fail, music speaks". Angela has done incredible things for teens and young adults in her community. You can find out more about The Cole Project here:www.thecoleproject.orgAnd on Instagram @the_cole_project

In the second part of a two-part series featuring host Michelle Scharf’s sister-in-law, Linda, she talks about going from a young widow to a newly, and quickly, married stepmother then birth mother. She expands on her previously learned lessons of finding joy amid trials, giving herself permission to discover who she is, to giving herself permission to let others discover who they are as well. While she might not be able to control every circumstance she greets, she has been able to find peace in letting God and the universe led her one step at a time. Even though we live in challenging times we can become Relentlessly Resilient as we lean on and learn from one another’s experiences. Hosts Jennie Taylor and Michelle Scharf are no strangers to overcoming adversity; Michelle lost her husband to cancer, while Jennie’s husband Major Brent Taylor was killed in the service of our country. Their stories bond them together and now listeners can join them weekly as they visit with others enduring challenges and who teach us how they are exercising resiliency, finding value in their grief, and purpose in moving forward. Listen to the Relentlessly Resilient Podcast regularly on your favorite platform, at kslpodcasts.com, kslnewsradio.com, or on the KSL App. Join the Resiliences conversation on Facebook at @RelentlesslyResilient and Instagram @RelentlesslyResilientPodcast.
