I share about my own journey having little support after losing my husband to #kidneycancer, raising small children as a #widowmom and compare that to how it is now after moving from Phoenix, AZ to #portlandoregon and gaining a lot more support for me and the kids. I also include a little bit of info I found about how evidence shows that when we feel like we have good social supports around us, we have better #healthandwellness outcomes. I wrap it up with a little #gratitude #mindfulness #meditation

Join me and I'd love to hear from you on how having support or a lack of support is affecting or has affected your quality of life and #wellness!

In this episode I share what life was like for me as a new widow in the immediate aftermath of losing my husband. I share about how I prepared my 3 and 1 year old ahead of time as well as when I had to tell them the news of their dad's passing, what helped us in our initial mourning period, and I talk about an unexpected loss in that the people closest to us--my in-laws began distancing from my children and I when we needed them most --and how I coped with it all.
