On today’s episode, Cindy Burns shares the challenges of being a widow and how that impacts your sense of purpose. Cindy shares her experience and how the loss of a spouse or partner, even if you are not currently married to that person, creates a deep sense of loss. However, this is also a time to take a deeper look at your values, dreams, and desires and to find your purpose.
We talk about the realities of grief and how divorce often creates a sense of loss that is a very real form of grief. We also talk about the loss of loved ones in general, particularly at this time when many women are caretakers of their parents and also going through a divorce or health issues with their spouse or ex-partner. Cindy provides practical ideas and strategies for how to deal with grief and loss and how to manage grief when you are caring for children.
About the Guest:
Cindy Burns is a widow of 11 years with 6 grown sons. When Dan died, my grief was interrupted by family issues that needed my touch. It was several years later that I started feeling lost and adrift. I didn't know who I was anymore or what I was supposed to do. I became certified as a Life Purpose Coach & a Happiness Coach. Those courses helped me to realize who I was, and that I was meant to guide other widows through the grief process to discover their new passions and purpose using.
