162. Navigating Mother’s Day Without Your Person
Mother’s Day can be unexpectedly painful after the loss of a spouse—whether you're a mom, stepmom, a dad, or grieving what might have been. In this episode, I share a simple, practical approach to help you prepare for the day, navigate it with more ease, and reflect afterward without self-criticism. If this day feels heavy, this is for you. If you’re listening and thinking, I feel stuck… and I don’t want to stay here, I want you to know you don’t have to figure it out alone. I offer a limited number of private consultations for those who are considering working with me. We’ll look at where you are, what’s keeping you stuck, and whether my program is the right next step for you. Simply click this link: https://calendly.com/teresabeshwate/complimentary-conversation

161. The Myths and Truths of Year 2

If you’re in (or approaching) year two, this will help you understand your experience—and better support yourself through it.

154. It’s Okay to Opt Out of the News (For Now)
The news is designed to capture your attention — and often, it’s the worst of the worst. After the loss of a spouse, your nervous system is already carrying more than enough. In this episode, I offer a permission slip: it’s okay to opt out of the constant stream of the news — at least for now. Choosing what you allow into your mind isn’t selfish or irresponsible. It’s intentional. And it may be one of the kindest things you can do for yourself.

128. What to do with the pictures: finding your way
A common question I hear from widowed people is about what to do with the pictures. Should they stay up? Should they come down? Is there a “right” time or a “wrong” choice? After loss, even something as simple as a framed photo can feel loaded with meaning—love, memory, respect, and sometimes guilt or worry about what others will think. In this episode, I want to reassure you that there are no rules here. I’ll share my response to a listener who wondered if she was “allowed” to take down her late husband’s pictures, and together we’ll explore practical ways to approach this deeply personal decision with clarity and self-compassion.
