Take the Four Seasons of Grief Quiz!

10/27/2026

Never did I ever see my office becoming a small packing and shipping zone for widows. 😅

But I have to say... I love it! 🥰

Getting something real in the mail feels like a special day, and look at these super fun Brave Widow-themed shipping envelopes I found!

And just wait until you see what the Academy packages are shipping out in, in January. 🤯

Let's just say it's going to be so fun!

Brave Widow is more than just a grief recovery group.

We put real tools in your hands. Real books. Real life coaching skills you can use the rest of your life.

Most people join because they're looking for a real plan and guidance that's faith-based.

Healing. Growing. Learning. We do this every day.

Start in our free community and fall in love.

What if everything you believed about healing after loss was wrong?

Here are five myths many widows believe:

1. If I’m healing, I should feel better every day.

2. Time heals all wounds.

3. To heal, I have to let my person go.

4. If I’m happy again, it means I didn’t love them enough.

5. Healing means going back to my old self.

The truth is, healing is not linear.

You can have a hard day without losing your progress.

You can love your person deeply and still enjoy life.

You can carry memories and create new ones.

You can become someone new without betraying who you were before.

Healing is learning to grow your capacity to hold more than grief.

You may eventually hold grief and gratitude.

Grief and peace.

Grief and new memories.

Grief and joy.

That does not mean you loved your person less.

It means you are learning how to live with love and loss together.

The holidays after losing your spouse can feel overwhelming, lonely, and completely different from what everyone else seems to be experiencing.

In this episode, I’m sharing three things people often don’t tell you about grief during the holidays:
1. No one may come to rescue your holidays.
2. Your nervous system remembers holiday triggers, even when you’re trying not to think about them.
3. The second or third holiday season can sometimes feel harder than the first.

You are not doing grief wrong.

You do not have to pretend the holidays feel normal. You also do not have to let the holidays happen to you without a plan.

You get to make decisions in advance. You get to choose what you will and will not participate in. You get to create a plan that gives you more support, peace, and autonomy.

People assume grief has a timeline like the flu. But years later, the pain can still feel just as real and challenging. It is time we stop expecting people to simply move on and start understanding that healing has no expiration date. Have you felt this pressure?

Been dreading the holidays since September?

You're not behind. You're not broken. Your brain is doing exactly what it was designed to do after loss - and that's actually the first thing we cover together inside Brave Through the Holidays.

I made a behind-the-scenes video to show you exactly what this looks like.

Comment HOLIDAYS for the link.

Here's what 12 weeks looks like: we start with the neuroscience of why this season feels so hard.

Then we move into family expectations, the conversations you've been avoiding, and exactly what to say.

We evaluate your traditions one by one - what to keep, what to change, what to let go without guilt.

We plan for the grief triggers and the loneliness on the big days before they blindside you.

After five weeks of teaching and building your plan together, we shift into pure coaching so you have plenty of runway before Christmas actually arrives.

And on January 6th, we meet for two hours to build your vision for 2027.

Even if you have zero goals right now.

Even if you can't imagine wanting anything.

You'll walk away with at least one thing.

If you're already in Foundations or Academy, this is already included for you.

If you're not, we start October 21st. Join us at bravewidow.com/holidays

Comment HOLIDAYS and I'll send you all the details. 👇

The holidays might not feel 'perfect' or free of sadness. You might still have hard times. But you are equipped with a plan, maybe even a couple of plans. You have found peace with your decision.

We often overload ourselves with expectations, thinking we must maintain traditions and holiday cheer, fearing we'll ruin others' experiences. This pressure comes from within and from worrying about perception.

The second round of holidays after losing your spouse may not feel easier.

Sometimes the shock has worn off, and the reality feels even heavier.

You may feel pressure to:
• Host the meal�• Keep every tradition alive�• Make the holidays special for everyone else�• Pretend you are okay�• Avoid disappointing your family

But you are allowed to make a different plan.

You can maintain some traditions, modify others, and release the ones that feel too heavy right now.

You can create a Plan A, Plan B, and an escape plan.

You do not have to decide what every future holiday will look like. You only have to decide what supports you this year.
