When Michelle Hoffmann's husband died, she joined the club no one wants to be a member of; the widow's club. But over time, she noticed that her community was directing new widows to her for help - they had observed her finding her way forward. A new calling was born, defining a way through widow grief and supporting other grievers. The lessons she learned about how to access help effectively, plan for a new future and find her children what they needed to thrive proved deeply useful to other women who were now facing life on their own. Michelle became a coach, author and guide, laying out the skills that had helped her so much. In the process, she learned how deeply rewarding it can be to give back what is so hard won. She had truly found a way through!
On Good Grief we explore the losses that define our lives. Each week, we talk with people who have transformed themselves through the profound act of grieving. Why settle for surviving? Say yes to the many experiences that embody loss! Grief can teach you where your strengths are and ignite your courage. It can heighten your awareness of what is important to you and help you let go of what is not.
