Welcome to the Young Widow Podcast for Episode 21: Finding Your Voice. I'm Britany, your host and I'm happy that you could join today. I want to dive into a big challenge that many of us face in grief and is really important with the holidays coming. It's important that we talk about it now and we get it out there and it's finding our voice and advocating for ourselves. When we lose someone it's easy to get lost in making sure everyone else feels comfortable around us, that everyone else has having their grief managed. And then also we get lost in worrying about what others think about our choices and how they feel about it. But here's the thing, prioritizing yourself and setting boundaries isn't selfish, it's necessary in grief. So today we're going to talk about: Why prioritizing your needs isn't selfish and why you're the only one who really knows what you can handle. We're also going to cover how to handle triggering questions, using an approach. I call acknowledge advocate and redirect. Steps to start finding and using your voice. And then why being selfish is critical in the art of healing while going through deep grief. So Let's Dive In!
