Ep #7: The Little Things No One Tells You Part II (Daily Life)

Welcome to the Young Widow Podcast and thank you for joining today for Episode 7, The Little Things No One Tells You (Part II: Daily Life).
I’m Britany, your host and am happy you could join today. It may sound weird to say that – I am happy you could join for a talk about widowhood – but this is what I do and my intent is to reach as many widows as possible – so if you found my podcast, that actually does make me happy.
Last week we talked about the Little Things No One Talks Tells You About – like the Death Certificate. That was an emotional episode for me – yes 5 years into my grief and talking about different portions of it still activate triggers and emotions so I kept it short and wanted to separate it into two parts.
This week I want to talk about more things in daily life I didn’t know were going to be triggers or real aspects of grief simply because I didn’t know – and you may be feeling this way too.
 
Those things are going to be:
Household Tasks – like Grocery Shopping or doing the lawn
The Mail that Keeps on Coming

Ep #6: The Things No One Talks About: The Death Certificate

Welcome to the Young Widow Podcast and thank you for joining today for Episode 6, The Little Things No One Tells You (Part I The Death Certificate). I’m Britany, your host and am happy you could join on today. I know we haven’t chatted in about two weeks, but I was on vacation with my daughter and am getting caught up now!
 
Actually, the last time we spoke, we were going to talk about “The year of Firsts” but with my recent travel, it sparked a topic I wanted to talk about after we encountered some issues on travel. So this week we are going to focus on emotions and instances surrounding the Death Certificate.
 
What you are going to get out of this episode is:
-General information surrounding the Death Certificate
- Potential Needs for It
- Situations you may not even think of
- Emotions sparked from it, even years later

Ep #5: The Wedding Ring

Episode 5: The Wedding Ring
This week we are going to talk about “the Wedding Ring
What you are going to get out of this episode is:
What do you do? What’s right? Whats’ wrong? What do other people do? What did I do and all of the emotions surrounding the wedding ring.
If it seems like a weird topic then you may not be a widow because this is a pretty normal thought process we encounter. If you weren’t married but have an engagement ring, you may resonate with some of these feelings. And if you are a widow then you probably already know where I am going to go with this conversation.

Ep #4: The Widow Label

We are going to get personal and talk about what it feels like to be called a widow
Discussion about why you shouldn’t let a label define you.

Ep #3: A View into Active Grieving

This week we are going to talk about the active grieving cycle, what it is, what it feels like, and even some different scenarios I have encountered along with other widows while active grieving.
 
What you are going to get out of this episode is:
A detailed insight into active grieving .
Validation in how you currently feel or did feel in active grieving.

Ep #2: Breaking the Mytth of the Five Stages of Grief

In this episode, we're going to discuss the myth around the Five Stages of Grief. What you're going to get out of this episode is:
- An understanding of the Five Stages of Grief and why a lot of coaches and therapists disagree with it today, when they're helping others along their grief journey.
- We're going to talk about the grieving phases.
- We're going to identify how you can figure out which phase you fall in and why it's important for you to do so, which is really relative to following my podcast going forward. 

Ep. #1: Let's Get Started: The Young Widow Podcast

Welcome to The Young Widow Podcast!
This is a place for those who have lost their significant other and are grieving but I will say this podcast can relate to other types of grief, so don't shy away just because it has the word widow in it!
This podcast is about sharing the raw emotions of grief, finding commonalities in traversing similar obstacles and then exploring ways forward.
Get to know me and my journey in grief by listening to my first episode. I will be releasing new episodes every Wednesday. I am excited to share my experience in deep grief to help you move through your own healing journey!
xoxo,
Britany
