Growing up, I struggled with the concept of gratitude, feeling pressure to be thankful without truly understanding its depth. As a widow, this struggle intensified when faced with societal pressure to be grateful.

I share personal experiences of downplaying my grief and masking my emotions to appear strong. This is a common struggle among widows – feeling the need to put on a facade while silently battling with our grief.

Reflecting on my journey, I realized the importance of finding balance between honoring grief and embracing gratitude. It's about allowing both to coexist. True gratitude, I've learned, comes from acknowledging and feeling all emotions, even the painful ones.

This episode was inspired by my recent guest appearance on the Hilistically Speaking Podcast with Hilary Russo, who had me opening up in unexpected ways.
