BW 034: Sue Peters Love, Gratitude, and Service

In episode 34 of the Brave Widow show we have a really amazing person. Her name is Sue Peters. She is a fellow widow and she's going to share some parts of her story and some insights of what she's learned through her grief journey, and Sue is just a beautiful person on the inside and out. Sue is from Indiana. She was married to her husband John for almost 35 years until his untimely passing due to the bursting of his pancreas and the complications that arose from that. She has three grown and married children who have wonderful spouses, three awesome grandkids, and three fun Grand Pups. The new Road of Widowhood has led her on a very interesting soul journey of finding and getting to know and love the new Sue Peters. She is passionate about sharing the life, love and joy that can be found even on such a challenging road. She hopes that by sharing her stories, she can bring hope and a new view of life to those who face similar challenges, as well as a deeper connection to the stories we all hold as we walk this road of life together.   We talk about: ~ Gratitude being a huge part of the grief journey ~ The importance of loving yourself ~ Don't be afraid in stepping out   Quotes: ~ "There's also gratitude just that I'm still alive, and I still have a lot to be thankful for every single day, I wake up and the sun's shining. There's beautiful nature around me. And it helps me to realize that life is a gift. And that John maybe had his purpose and he lived his purpose. But I still have a purpose also. And, my purpose is important. And and it's important to share that with the world." "Loss comes in so, so many ways. But if we step out and have the little bit of courage to say, Hey here's a little bit of my story. What's your story? You'll probably be surprised that everyone's more very willing to share what they've been through and it brings out love in a whole new way."   You can find Sue on: Facebook | Heart To Soul Links   _____________________________________________________________________________________   The Brave Widow Community is a place where you can connect with other widows, find hope and healing, and begin to dream again for the future.  Learn more at bravewidow.com.     Hey guys, I’m Emily Jones I was widowed at age 37, one month shy of our 20 year wedding anniversary.  Nathan and I have four beautiful children together.  My world was turned completely upside down when I lost him.  With faith, community, and wisdom from others, I’ve been able to find hope, joy, and dream again for the future.  I want to help others do the same, too!   FOLLOW me on SOCIAL: Twitter @brave_widow Instagram @brave_widow Facebook https://www.facebook.com/bravewidow YouTube@bravewidow
