Episode 18 – Re-entering The Social World

Re-entering the world as a single person after the death of a spouse is definitely a test of resiliency. Everyone reacts differently, and no one should be judged on how they want to conduct their future. It’s a very personal decision. 

I would like to explore with Susan her experiences because what she experienced was very difficult and Susan had to overcome two devastating events, the loss of her son six months before the death of her husband. No one has to tell Susan how defeated a person can feel, and how overwhelming it was to move forward with her life. But she did it. Now I want Susan to share it with you. Let’s explore how you jumped into the social world.

Although this podcast is about re-entering the social world after widowhood, I’d like to ask you about you and Michael re-entering together after David’s suicide

Episode 17 – It’s All About Your Presentation

I’m talking to you like your best friend. I don’t mean to hurt you. I would never do that. I only want you to be happy. I experienced what you are presently feeling five years ago. I lost both my son and then my husband, six months apart. I was completely devastated. I always knew I wanted to live so I had to make the decision to re-enter society. I quickly learned that the way I looked and acted was the way people responded to me. I kept the hurt to myself and to a few select family and friends. 

The outside world saw me as a vivacious, energized and interesting person. Recovery is the time to show the world that you are special, relevant, beautiful inside and out. I made my hair a little blonder, I rode my bike a little longer and I hugged everyone a little tighter. Every positive move I make helps me get stronger and happier. I wish I could have my old life back. That’s not going to happen. I am building a new one now and I smile more every day.

Episode 14 – Can You Love Two People At The Same Time?

Widows and widowers often find themselves in a very unpredictable love triangle. They are finally ready to move forward with a new partner in their lives but they know deep down in their hearts that they still love the person they lost. 

Often, people keep these feelings to themselves because they want to live a full life with a new companion. However, they cannot deny the experience they are feeling. They are usually forced to suppress it.  Susan Warner is going to explore this topic in today’s podcast.

Episode 13 – Is A New Marriage Right For Everyone Who Has Lost A Spouse?

Getting married again after being widowed is a controversial topic. It’s an interesting, complex decision. What’s important is whether a new marriage is right for everyone. It’s a new world out there and the reasons why people hurried to get married again years ago, after losing a spouse or divorce, do not necessarily apply today. Let’s have this discussion…

Episode 12 – Exploring Guilt Emotions

Why do some men and women harbor guilt about moving on after losing a spouse? That’s a topic worth exploring because there are too many people crippled by it.  Not everyone needs or wants a new partner after losing the one they had, but those that pursue often speak about managing their guilt. We are addressing those who are  paralyzed by emotions that prevent new relationships. It’s very important to understand the dynamics of guilt so widows and widowers or those divorced can make meaningful and rational decisions for the rest of their lives minus the guilt.

Episode 11 – David

This is going to be one of Susan’s most difficult podcasts to produce. It’s about the death by suicide of her son David. It’s one thing to discuss moving forward after experiencing the death of her son and then her husband Michael. It’s totally another to discuss losing a child. 

August 18th is the FIFTH anniversary of her son’s death. Talking about David is Susan’s way of keeping him close and very much a part of her life.

He was a good son, smart, charismatic, kind and loving.  David was 4 weeks from his wedding. 

Susan’s words will probably resonate with all of us on many levels. Life is hard, but Susan’s mission is to make it the best possible one for herself and those in her orbit.
