any of this sound familiar?
You're secretly dreading the holidays now that your spouse is gone
But you also don't want to disappoint the people you love
You can think of a million holiday moments you'd rather skip this year
But you know you can't outrun the holidays and are going to have to figure something out
You want to believe it's possible to enjoy the holidays again
But it’s hard to imagine how without your person
It might feel hard to believe, but in only 3 days you can have tools that will make this holiday season so much easier.
If I hadn’t done it myself, I probably wouldn’t believe it was possible.
After my husband, Hugo, was killed by a drunk driver when I was 40, I found it difficult to deal with the holiday season. I was no longer curled up in the fetal position and had gone back to work. But I didn’t feel as strong as everyone was telling me I looked… and I definitely wasn’t looking forward to holidays without him (including his birthday only 3 days after Christmas). I felt robotic, hollow and full of dread. I wanted to enjoy the holidays, at least for my children’s sake, but I didn’t know how.
Fortunately, before my second holiday season, I discovered life coaching and Post Traumatic Growth. The tools were so powerful that I decided to devote my career to helping other widows genuinely love their lives again, too. None of us need to settle for a “new normal” that’s less than what we want and that includes the Holiday season!
What you’ll learn
When you join Happier Holidays for Widows Who Aren’t Done Living, you’ll learn specific and practical steps you can take to make your holiday season easier.
You’ll feel less dread and more optimism when you think about the upcoming holiday season because you’ll have tools that actually help. (And don’t worry… we don’t do “everything happens for a reason,” toxic positivity or forced gratitude here!)
You’ll know how to take advantage of the filtering system in your brain so you can make it work for you instead of against you. You’ll understand how to ask empowering questions and get your brain to focus on what you can control instead of what you can’t.
You’ll feel less pressure and stress about the holidays and more open to joy because you understand how to support yourself, especially in the areas where widows typically struggle the most.
What clients say about working with Krista...
Working with Krista has been so empowering! I love her style of coaching which I'd describe as kind and caring yet no nonsense. I feel very comfortable talking about anything with her and genuinely feel she not only understands but really is a friend who wants the best for me. Somehow she always has a way to positively affect the person she is coaching!
The most impactful thing I have received from working with Krista is HOPE. Hope that I'm not stuck in sadness and despair. Hope that tomorrow can be better than yesterday. Hope that I can control my thoughts and what I choose to make of them. I'm so thankful for Krista and the path of hope she's blazed for widows like me.
I learned practical strategies for dealing with my grief surrounding my husband’s death, and I learned how to dream about and build my next chapter in life.
I also learned useful ways to approach all the new experiences that widowhood brings as well as the new life for me and for my children.
I am excited for my future!
I am excited for my future!
I wouldn’t be where I am today without Krista! She’s real. She’s raw. She’s patient. Did I say she’s real?! There have been coaching calls where I think to myself… “This is a hard one….there is no way she can coach them through this….” And then she does! She is simply incredible. She finds new ways for us to view and perceive our grief, and our lives. She tells us to allow all of the feelings and never shames us for doing certain things or feeling certain ways. Krista is a true gift to anyone who knows her or works with her!
Working with with Krista has been a game-changer for me! She creates a safe non-judgemental space that allows you to dig deep and tackle your biggest obstacles.
Things that I never thought I could get to, I see are now possible.
The work is not fluff, it’s true intense work on myself. I’ve come a long way from the dark places in my mind to seeing what’s possible for me.
Before working with Krista St-Germain I felt hopeless. Being married for nearly 31 years my identity was very much attached to being Eddie's wife. Krista was able to help me understand my grief, embrace my independence and look forward to my future. I was able to find joy in my life and look forward to my future. I have gained the resources to make this happen.
Working with Krista has helped me find my way back. I felt lost for so long after my husband passed away - with no direction or purpose. Krista helped me navigate the rough waters. More importantly, she gave me the tools to help myself as I continue to navigate life with grief and hope.

My partner has been gone for years…
A common myth of grief is that “time heals” and this can be incredibly frustrating when time has passed and you still aren’t enjoying the holidays! If you’re tired of watching time pass and dreading yet another holiday season, you’re not alone and this event will help!
I’m already doing therapy…
Amazing! Many of our clients find they benefit from both therapy and coaching. You are welcome whether you are in therapy or not!
Groups are depressing to me…
We get that. And many groups are full of widows who struggle to focus on the future and mostly just want to vent. This isn’t that. Happier Holidays for Widows Who Aren’t Done Living will be an event that’s honest AND forward focused. We know grief is hard AND we can do hard things.

Perhaps you're wondering...
The event is simple but powerful. All you have to do is apply what you learn and your holidays will feel easier!
We get it. Some people just want to talk about how awful it is to be a widow. This experience is not a pity party. We believe in acknowledging that it’s hard and then deciding to be women who do hard things. That said, all emotions are welcome and it’s ok if you cry. We’re just not going to stay stuck in the sadness.
We’ve designed this event with busy moms in mind. And this event will take less time than most of us spend scrolling on social media.
If you’re willing to invest 30 minutes a day for 3 days, you’ll benefit in powerful ways!
No, all widows are welcome in this event.
Simply click the “Join Now” button and enter your name and email address. It’s that simple.
This event was designed for busy women. All calls will be recorded and sent straight to your in-box so you can watch them when it’s convenient for you.
Yes, it really is.
We are an inclusive community. If you identify as a woman and a widow, you are welcome here.
Many women join the program having had challenging relationships. Some were even separated or divorced at the time of their partner’s death. This can make grief and healing more complex. Regardless of the type of the challenges you faced while they were living, we can help!
Losing your parter to suicide is complicated and we have coached many widows through the nuances of healing after a suicide loss. All losses are welcome in our Happier Holidays event.
