The Widowed Mom Podcast

What if your grief could become part of an intentional, meaningful next chapter?

In this powerful conversation, I sit down with my client Wendy Veazie as she shares her deeply personal journey after the sudden loss of her husband, Peter, and how she learned to reframe her grief story and navigate unimaginable pain without losing herself.

In this episode, Wendy opens up about the shock of sudden loss, the physical reality of grief, the stories we tell ourselves after tragedy, and how coaching helped her shift from focusing solely on loss to honoring both her pain and the gifts of her marriage. Together, we explore how grief can coexist with gratitude, authenticity, and intentional living.

Have you ever thought, “I was doing better, so why am I falling apart again?”

In this episode, I want to reassure you that you are not back at the beginning, you are not failing, and you are not doing grief wrong. Grief was never meant to move in a straight line.

Tune in this week to learn why grief isn’t linear, why the traditional idea of “stages” can make us judge ourselves, and why recurring grief waves do not mean something has gone wrong. Instead, I’ll show you how to think about grief as a spiral: layered, human, and always meeting you from a new place.

What if grief journaling - something everyone seems to recommend - might actually be keeping you stuck instead of helping you heal?

In this episode, I challenge the idea that journaling is always beneficial, and explain why it sometimes leaves you feeling worse instead of better.

Tune in to learn how to shift from unintentional journaling to purposeful grief journaling. I’ll show you how to question your thoughts, create space from them, and use writing as a tool for growth so you can move forward with intention instead of staying stuck.
