Episode 152
Listen to the podcast here:
Anita Coyle's husband Jason died suddenly one night while swimming at a local rec center. Their kids were 12, 8, 5, and 2 years old at the time. Jason was only 42. Just one week later, Anita was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. In today's episode Anita shares some of her biggest struggles in dealing with loss for the past 4 years.
Anita and I chat about:
~ how difficult it is to face the unexpected AND expected grief triggers, like having to work at the same hospital that Jason was taken to the night he passed away.
~ How parenting has been the hardest part of being a widow for Anita
~ How finding healthy coping mechanisms is a must for your own well-being and sanity!
~ How important it is to always have something to look forward to!
~ How Anita partnered up with Mel Shore and created the Widow We Do Now podcast!
~ Anita and Mel have spoken at Camp Widow 5 times!
~ Her biggest piece of advice for widows is to have patience. There's so much time to figure stuff out. There's nothing you can do to speed it up!
