Let’s be real. Life after loss is a rollercoaster no one asked to ride. The world expects you to pick up the pieces, but no one hands you the instructions. I wanted the freaking INSTRUCTIONS. Widowhood isnt new – but as a widow under 30, I was left wondering, “How do I move forward? Who am I NOW? How do I find myself again in this new normal?” These are questions many widows face, and the specific resources WE need are not exactly easy to find. it’s okay not to have all the answers. That’s where coaching comes in—because you deserve more than just surviving. You deserve to thrive.
Widow Sister Connection
When you lose your partner, it feels like the ground has shifted beneath you. Friends and family try to help, but they may not fully understand the depth of your pain. Grief is a journey that’s different for everyone, and sometimes, you need someone who’s been there, someone who gets it.
Coaching isn’t about telling you what to do; it’s about guiding you through the fog. It’s having that sisterly hand to hold, someone who walks beside you as you navigate this new chapter. A coach provides a safe space to express your emotions, explore your fears, and discover your strengths. They’re not there to fix you—because girl, you’re not broken. They’re there to help you rebuild, stronger and more empowered than before.
Clarity Amidst the Chaos
Grief can be overwhelming. It’s like trying to find your way out of a dense forest, with no map, while blindfolded – with your kids on your back! You’re lost, exhausted, everything reminds you of how alone you are – and every path to a “resource” seems to lead nowhere. I’ve been there and have dedicated my time ever since I left that forest – to coach other widows to find clarity amidst the chaos. I decided every widow deserves what I didnt have – someone to help assist you in setting goals, creating actionable steps, and holding you accountable to ensure you’re moving forward, even when it feels impossible.
Finding Your Power Again
Widowhood can leave you feeling powerless, like your life is happening to you rather than you being in control. A coach helps you reclaim that power. We can help empower you to make decisions that align with your new reality, helping you to rediscover your identity and purpose.
Coaching is also about rediscovering joy – and the STEPS to do it (since no one is ever able to tell you HOW). Discovering how to find those moments of light in the darkness and holding onto them is the number one thing I wanted to share, because it’s about creating a future that excites you, even if it looks different from what you had imagined. That’s EMPOWERING as heck, I dont care what anyone says.
Connection + Community
One of the most important aspects of coaching is POSITIVE connection. It’s one thing to have a place to vent – and that’s OK. But its another thing COMPLETELY to be amongst people that are in your shoes – but encouraging each other to move FORWARD – not just “on”. You’re not alone in this journey. Under my coaching practice, I was determined to help women gain a support system of sisters who understand what you’re going through and who are rooting for your success, not just agreeing with your misery.
Your Roadmap Forward
Sis, if you’re ready to start moving FORWARD – you might want to take a look at coaching. Coaching isn’t about forgetting your past to move forward; it’s about honoring your past and your love, while building your future. It’s about taking control of your narrative and creating a life that’s meaningful and fulfilling. You’ve got the strength within you—sometimes, you just need a little help finding it again.
So, if you’ve been feeling lost, if you’re tired of going it alone, or if you’re ready to start building a roadmap to your next steps, consider coaching. You don’t have to do this by yourself. There’s a sisterhood waiting to support you, and together, we’ll find your way forward.
Rooting for you always,
