We all face it at some point in our lives, some harder than others. Grief can come in a variety of different ways, shapes, and forms, it can come in the form of a loss of a loved one or a loss of potentially a job, or an opportunity, a loss of freedoms, really the keyword being lost. We lose something. We go through a grieving process and it can be challenging.   This week's podcast is going to help us understand grief through her story and journey of becoming a widow.     I want to introduce to you the wonderfully inspiring Alison Pena also known as The Bad Widow.  Alison began calling herself The Bad Widow after she lost her husband who died in her arms of pancreatic cancer in 2016.  She tells us how after feeling completely broken down by her loss and getting lots of well-meaning advice, she decided to be a different kind of widow and ignored all the bad assumptions, and chose to honor her boundaries, and live her life on her own terms.   Alison Pena now helps widowers and those who have lost loved ones with strategies to maintain existing relationships, build new ones, and ultimately find love.     In this podcast, you get to hear her heart-wrenching story of grief and you get to understand her process of grieving, a process that she teaches to her many clients.     This is a great podcast for those who are going through grief or will face it one day. For those who have people in their life that are grieving and really how to best approach and manage them.    Please join us for this incredible podcast, filled with life lessons from such an incredible woman with an inspiring story.    📲 Facebook: @adaptyounow    📲 Instagram: @adaptyou
