Looking forward with fellow widow Debbie

Описание: Debbie lost her husband Paul in March 2018 when he had a heart attack whilst at the local gym, he was 53 years old and left behind Debbie and their two daughters, Kelly and Jodie who were 23 & 27.

The shock and devastation catapulted them all into a life they did not know or understand, but Debbie’s incredible outlook, and sheer determination not to become a victim of this tragedy, has led Debbie to a place where she feels she can embrace her widowhood and what that brings.

I have watched Debbie flourish over the last eighteen months and it has been incredible to see, she truly is an inspiration and so much of what she says resonates with me and my story, I felt compelled to ask her onto the podcast so she can share her story with you.

You will learn a lot from this conversation. It is heartwarming and uplifting, offering hope, comfort and an understanding that what you are feeling right now is not permanent. Debbie shows us that it is possible to look forward, and believe that the future can be good again, whilst still loving and honouring your person.

We talk about embracing those around you
Learning to build a relationship with your grief
The power of journaling
Figuring what works and what doesn’t
Acceptance
Being the sole keeper of shared memories
Secondary losses
Hope
What grief teaches us
As Debbies so eloquently put it, “People say time heals……. but I think healing takes time”.

It really does, take a listen to this wonderful conversation so you too can learn how to use your time to help your healing journey.

We can all learn from Debbie and I just know you’ll love her as much as I do.
