Love is not dead Just my husband! Widow Your Way with Rebecca Johnson

In this episode I have a candid conversation with Divorcee, Josie Falcon of the Heavy Pages Podcast, and what unfolded was truly eye-opening!
We found ourselves marveling at the similarities between the journeys of Widows and Divorcees. The only difference was my husband is dead and hers is not!
While the circumstances of widowhood and divorce are unique, the emotional rollercoaster that follows is surprisingly alike.
This conversation is a beautiful reminder that loss is painful for everyone, no matter what form it comes in. If we are willing to be open, we can celebrate these connections and join each other on the winding paths of healing and self-exploration.
After all, love is not dead for any of us!
Look for Josie on all social media platforms and more!
She offers a variety of service to help anyone through an unwanted separation.

Breaking Silence: The Unfiltered Thoughts of Widows

Are you ready to hear the unfiltered thoughts that often whirl in a widow's head?
Lets talk about the cliché comments and thoughtless questions that are often thrown at widows. You know the ones: "How are you doing?", "They are in a better place", the list goes on. I'm going to give you authentic responses many widows may harbor and are just too polite to say outload.
Just wait until you hear the most insensitive question asked!
This episode is a gentle reminder that finding the right words to say to a grieving Widow can be challenging, but it's equally difficult for the Widow. Even if you don't have the perfect words. Sometimes, silence, presence, and support through actions speak volumes.

In Mourning and Discovery: A Widow's Journey

Grief is like an onion! There are so many layers!
In this episode we unravel the multi-layered journey of a widow, and an often overlooked topic of widowhood: the grief for the loss of one's former self. It's not just about mourning a spouse; it's a journey of self-discovery and transformation.
The message is simple: it's okay to embrace change and let go of who you once were. During grief and loss, there is also a chance for rebirth and growth.
This episode celebrates the courage to redefine yourself, reminding us all that the widowhood journey is about honoring your past while embracing a brighter, self-empowered future.
As always, Widow Your Way ❤️
