Episode 5 — Let Yourself Be Changed
from Widow's Permission Slips with Gladys Jean Ullstam · host Gladys Jean Ullstam
People love to reassure you that the old you will come back, that one day you will feel like yourself again. But what if that is not true, and what if it does not need to be? Grief changes you all the way down, the way becoming a parent does. There is a you before and a you after, and they are not the same woman.In this episode of Widow's Permission Slips, I talk about being changed by loss on a cellular level, a lifelong fear that vanished the moment Gary stopped breathing, and the square dancing club I never in a million years would have joined before. Grief is a time of learning, and curiosity is how you meet the woman you are becoming. Widow's Permission Slips is a production of Ember & Bloom Coaching for Widows, hosted by Gladys Jean Ullstam, certified life coach and Gary's widow.If you are ready to be met exactly where you are, my free discovery call, Holding the Ember, is open at emberandbloomcoaching.com/appointments.Follow the show so a new permission slip finds you each week, and share it with a widow who needs to hear it.Website: emberandbloomcoaching.comYou are not alone in this.
