Wishing you could get some tools to make navigating widowhood easier?
Introducing a powerful monthly workshop series created exclusively for widowed moms by Master Certified Life Coach, Grief Expert and host of The Widowed Mom Podcast, Krista St-Germain.
But you aren’t feeling so strong
But you don’t want another depressing grief group and aren’t sure what to do next
But it’s hard to imagine how without your person
After my husband, Hugo, was killed by a drunk driver when I was 40, I struggled to find the resources I needed. Everything I found online was depressing and I didn’t know any widows I could relate with. I wanted to love life again but I didn’t know how.
I read all the grief books, joined all the grief groups and eventually found cognitive behavioral based coaching tools. I learned how to support my nervous system and navigate grief grenades. I learned how to change what I thought was possible for my life and start to see that my husband’s death didn’t mean I couldn’t love my life again.
Once I figured it out for myself, I wanted to help others who were where I once was. In 2018 I started coaching widowed moms and never looked back.
December – “Coping with Grief During the Holidays”
The holiday season can bring a mix of emotions, especially for those who are grieving the loss of their person. In fact, just knowing we have to navigate them can make us want to crawl back in bed, pull up the covers and not come out until the new year!
Whether your loss is recent or you’re facing another holiday without your person, this session will provide you with guidance, connection, and a sense of hope as you navigate this holiday season.
January – “Creating a New Identity After Loss”
Navigating the aftermath of a profound loss often leaves us grappling with questions of identity. Who are we in this new phase of life? How do we truly rebuild when a part of us feels so absent?
For many, this loss sparks a journey of self-reflection, realignment, and transformation. We question our roles, our purpose, and sometimes even our worth. It’s a deep well of emotional turmoil but also a wellspring of potential growth.
If even a fragment of this resonates with you, this workshop is a great next step.
February – “Increasing Your Confidence as a Widow”
If you’re a widow, you’ve most likely noticed a dip in your confidence since losing your person. And because we aren’t expecting less confidence to be part of grief, it often catches us off guard and leaves us feeling worried and unsure.
In this month’s workshop you’ll learn why our confidence takes a hit and what we can actually do about it (it’s completely repairable, promise!) You’ll also learn the difference between confidence and self-confidence (yes, they really are different) and why each requires a unique approach.
Plus, you’ll learn and practice one tool you can use immediately and walk away understanding exactly what you need to do to get more self confidence when the workshop is over!
Whether you want to repair the confidence you used to have before your spouse died or figure out how to be the confident woman you’ve always wanted to be, this workshop will help!
March – “Getting Rid of Overwhelm”
Who knew being a widow was going to feel so overwhelming? There’s so much to do and juggle and all the pressures of being a solo-parent (not to mention all the emotional weight we’re trying to carry).
In fact, overwhelm is one of the most common emotions widowed moms experience, and it’s no surprise that we don’t function well, make good decisions or enjoy life when overwhelm keeps dragging us down.
This workshop will teach you the true source of overwhelm (so you can change it) and tools you can use to create calm in your nervous system in just seconds. It will forever change the way you deal with overwhelm and help you know exactly what to do when it strikes.
While at the same time not wanting to settle for a “new normal” you didn’t ask for but not knowing what to do about it?
If this sounds familiar, you’re in the right place and the Widows Like Us Monthly Workshop is just what you’ve been looking for.
The Monthly Workshop is an easy way for you to get support and feel better about your future!
You'll receive access to the live Monthly Workshops and recordings for as long as you are a member of the Widows Like Us program.
You’ll have the opportunity to attend one live workshop each month via Zoom. Can’t attend live? Don’t worry… all Monthly Workshops are recorded so you can benefit even when you can’t be there in person.
Along with the Monthly Workshop, you'll receive worksheets you can use to take notes and solidify what you're learning each month. You'll also receive helpful tips via email and bite-sized bits of encouragement throughout the month.
It’s convenient and entirely online so you can participate in a way that works best for you and your busy schedule no matter what time zone you live in.
Not only will you get help from Krista directly during the workshop, but you’ll feel like you got coached even when all you did was watch another participant’s coaching. Participants feel connected, understood and supported.
My partner just died…
Many women join the Monthly Workshop shortly after the loss of their partner. They’re often worried they’ll “do grief wrong” (even though there really is no such thing, we promise) or they’re concerned they’ll get stuck in their grief and not make progress. As long as you’re able to devote 90 minutes to supporting yourself once a month, the Monthly Workshop is a powerful gift to give yourself as early as possible after your loss.
My partner has been gone for years…
One of the most common myths of grief is that “time heals” and this can be incredibly frustrating when time has passed and you still don’t feel better! If you’re tired of watching time pass and not making the progress you’d like, you’re not alone and the Monthly Workshop can help!
I have young children…
Managing your grief while solo parenting and helping your children manage their grief is daunting at best. And while it’s easy to put your own needs aside and focus on your children, it’s a terrible long term strategy. Grief is a marathon, not a sprint and as cliché as it sounds, you must put the oxygen mask on yourself first. The Monthly Workshop will get you headed down the path to more confidence and it’s designed with a busy solo mom’s schedule in mind.
My children are grown…
Once a mom, always a mom. And while the challenges of solo parenting adult children are different from parenting young children, they aren’t necessarily any easier. The Monthly Workshop will help you improve your relationships with family members you care about, regardless of whether they live with you or have children of their own.
The Monthly Workshop is an easy way to get valuable help and tools beyond what most receive in therapy or other group grief groups. All you have to do is show up, follow along for 90 minutes or watch the recording if you can’t attend live.
We get it. Some people just want to talk about how awful it is to be a widow. Our monthly workshops will help you feel more powerful and confident so you can start creating your life instead of just tolerating it.
90 minutes once a month. That’s it!
No, it doesn’t matter if your children are young or grown, you are welcome to participate!
Losing your parter to suicide is complicated and Krista has coached many widows through the nuances of healing after a suicide loss. All losses are welcome.
The Widows Like Us Monthly Workshop was designed for busy moms. That’s why all workshop calls are recorded so you can watch them when it’s convenient for you.
The Monthly Workshop is designed for the woman who isn’t ready for the significant investment of a small group, high touch coaching program (like our premier Mom Goes On 6 month coaching program). And we’ve made the pricing accessible in order to serve more widows.
We are an inclusive community. If you identify as a woman and a widow, you are welcome.
Many widows had relationships that weren’t full of rainbows and daisies. 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, this will help!
Then our full 6 month Mom Goes On Coaching program might be a better fit for you. It’s the premier coaching and community experience for widowed moms who are serious about investing in themselves. If you’re looking to invest more than 90 minutes a month so you can get back to loving life quickly and with lots of support from Krista and her team, click here and apply for the full Mom Goes On program.
