No doubt beginning to write a book is on your list of goals to accomplish for 2025, Krista! 😊I’d even be willing to be an early reader/editor for you-free of charge!!! I am actually pretty good at that!❤

"Grief is NOT in the way. It is PART of the WAY!" Brilliant statement and so true! Thank you, Krista! Maybe you should write a book...

Love this concept!!! Thank you!! Listened to this one twice. ❤

I just listened to a few of your podcasts after having a friend I met in a grief support group sent me the link to your podcast as she felt it was more helpful to widows as the generic grief support meetings we attended. Although I don't have any children at home any longer as they are adults the podcast being directed to widows is certainly resonating with me and my loss as I adapt to game 2 and its rules.

Whoa! 🤯 Not going to lie. I totally needed to hear this. I definitely need to listen to this again. So much goodness here!

Thank you

This is really quite good. Cannot believe there are no comments (so far) and a bunch of likes. Even if you just listen to the 1st 3rd or so. Nice job, ladies. Practical info and good sharing.

I really have this fear bc some of my kids are still young. I worry that I won't have all the memories of him. This helped me out alot.

❤ This really helped me think of new possibilities.

I got some good things from this podcast. It didn't all resonate but it was good.❤

This was sooo very helpful.

This was such an insightful and enjoyable listen. So much of what was said really resonated. I’m so grateful for Krista, and all that she so lovingly offers to those of us walking this complex road called widowhood. 💜

Love your “and” strategy. I’m a senior now, and I’ve been widowed almost 9 years, after caregiving my spouse for 11 years. It was until this past summer that I opened myself up to dating again. I honestly thought I would never go down that path again. Thanks for sharing your “ands”.

This was a hard one for me. I'm only 7 months out. I signed up for Happier Holidays, but I need help now. Halloween was one of my husband's favorite holidays and I'm struggling. The decorations have been siting for two weeks and I just can't bring myself to decorate, but I want to for my 6-year-old grandson that lives with me. His mom, my daughter is struggling to decorate as well. I know he would want us to decorate and enjoy the holiday, but I just can't get myself to do it. I'm doing okay day to day, but this one is hard.

It’s been almost 2 years and his toothbrush, comb, even his mouthwash are still in the bathroom. Was happy to hear I am not the only one. Such small items but really hard to let go! Thank you again for bringing up something so personal to help me!! Can’t wait for the next one!!

I’ve been following you for a while now on Fb… but this is the first time I’ve listened to your podcast. I will definitely be listening more. Thank you.

Thank you Krista, I need it today 🫶🏻

🥰🥰Do you need a Thumbnail Designer?

Such great information and insight. Such a good listen.

I’ve been a bit apprehensive about the 1 year anniversary of my husband’s passing coming up in December, and I’ve been putting off listening to this podcast thinking it’s better to wait until the day arrives, but I was encouraged to go ahead and listen now. I was told the anticipation of the day is often harder than the day itself. That was some lovely wisdom and the perspective I needed. I listened and I now have some peace. Thank you, Krista, for all that you do! We love you too! We’ve got this!

Thanks

Thank you for this!! Still trying to get used to being alone. We had been together since 1981, started having our 4 kids in 1984, the youngest graduated in 2009. He passed November 2022. The hardest things for me to get used to are coming home to an empty house and sleeping in bed alone. My hope is that both will get easier with time. Your podcasts are a big help on days that are real hard. So, thank you for doing what you do and for being who you are!!!

Through participating in the Mom Goes On program with incredible coach Krista St-Germain, I learned a lesson that has changed everything for me! Finding out that I am not my thoughts and that no one can make me feel anything I don't choose to feel blew my mind. I learned that my thoughts caused my feelings which drove my actions which caused the results that were occurring in my life. Being able to break what I had been thinking down and examine my thoughts and feelings provided me with a brand new perspective on being a widow and ways to go on with my life after the loss of my husband. This program can do that for you, too. Check it out!!! You won't be sorry!

Excellent session hearing how much Helen's life has changed due to Mom Goes On and Krista St. Germain's excellent life coaching skills. My path through my own grief has been similar. Thanks for sharing this podcast!

Thank you…

Krista's podcasts are always amazing, but this interview with Berit Van Neste is outstanding. Berit's intelligence, down-to-earth delivery, and honesty highlight what a resource the Mom Goes On program is for widows. Kudos to Berit for expressing herself so eloquently and, as always, for the brilliant job that Krista does for all of us who work with her to help us go on with our lives and find joy again. Thank you, Berit and Krista for this inspiring podcast! I appreciate you both more than I can say!!! Priscilla

very good insight. I would hope a new partner would be happy you have good memories and be able to enjoy you telling them. I think it should encourage you to make new memories with them and not be a competition because that would destroy both the past and future new ones.

Loved this episode! It was 6 months last week that I lost Dave. Feel like I am moving forward; however, not at a pace some feel I should be. I am working, going out, spending time with friends and family, but still am grieving and so, so sad. I have one friend that always gives me space to be sad, or mad or any other emotion I need to feel when we are together. That is very underrated. Thanks for always being spot on with current or past feelings/advice, and I am sure moving forward there will be many more episodes that will resonate...thanks for being YOU and allowing us to be ourselves!

Awesome explanation about why the Elizabeth Kubler-Ross theory regarding the five stages of grief, although accepted by popular culture, does not describe the experience of grief that those who have lost a person are feeling. It is not a linear process. You do not "get over it" or "move on". We move forward and take grief along with us. Having someone die changes who we are forever. We need to find a way to move forward and take grief along with us. If you are reading this and have lost a life partner, Krista's program called Mom Goes On might be helpful to you. Check it out! I did and I am SO grateful to have found this amazing group led by an intelligent, compassionate coach.

I don’t know why there are so few comments here. You have such a good view on the subject. I am older than you, live in UK but agree that life cannot be over and the widow groups I have joined seem to have this negative vibe. I suppose the ones who are more positive don’t feel the need to join groups. I was with my husband for nearly fifty years and the end was horrific but the need to talk and listen to others in this situation is very real and just getting through the days is becoming a burden. We need like minded widows to energise us. Keep up your good work. ❤️Sue

Thank you Krista for all you do!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! 🎉

Hi I lost my husband of 56 years (almost 5 months ago) - I’m 76 yrs old - am I too old to follow this pod ?

On Friday when I lit a candle and put Jim Brickman's piano music on Pandora while I was the only one home the thought crossed my mind that I was "playing house." But I reminded myself that I am creating habits for the life I want.

I raised my kids on - is it a need, want or would like to have please. Money was tight then...

Any suggestions for coaching for a 40 year old widower?

I am not just a mothebut a woman of God

Amazing revelationneeded this! ❤️ I am me again!

Thanks Krista...needed this today...going to try this!

Thank you very much ❤🙏

Thank you for all you do!! You have helped me in so many ways!!

This hit home and I loved the message! Took a full "girl shower" for the first time (husband passed on 12/17/23). Felt so good and realized that I like night showers vs. morning showers. Learning my new needs and what works. Thank you!!!!!!!!

I love this! Great analogy!! Game 2 will be hard but now I have a name for it…. Thank you!!

Darlene's story was so familiar as far as loosing her husband. To hear about the changes she made for herself gives me hope!

I’m 13 1/2 months out since my husband passed. Our grown children and I now remember things he said as “Randyisms”. It’s our way to remember and laugh….

"What new skills do I need to be successful?" Love that!

Thank you so much for sharing. This is such a tough road to travel. ❤

Hi, I lost my husband all most 2 months ago. Find your pot cast trying to find a support group. Everything is so fresh right now, but I have to take one day at the time....

After crying on the phone to my Mom this morning about how I feel I am going backwards, I found this episode. It was the first recommended video on TH-cam. Wow. I feel this was placed here for me. Just wow. Thank you, Krista. Your timing is impeccable and you made a difference in my life today. ❤ Husband shot himself in February and we have an 11 year old son. It's been so horrible and I am so grateful for your podcast. Thank you. 💜
