How soon is "normal" enough for a widow to start craving intimacy? Is it even possible to have a genuine desire for someone new after the death of a loved one? The simple answer is yes. But unfortunately, widowhood has traditionally been constructed as an asexual period. A widow may look to move forward, but not without the risk of being judged. A widow may crave intimacy from another, but not without feeling guilty.
So, how can widows find space in their hearts to be intimate with somebody else and still love and grieve their person?
In this episode, we'll discuss sexual desires and the loss of intimacy in widowhood. We'll also go through some practical tips to help you reconnect with your desires and rediscover your sexuality.
What You'll Learn:

Denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance. Almost everyone has heard about the five stages of grief.
However, these 5 stages were first proposed in 1969, which is why many people question their relevance in today's world.
Plus, despite their popularity, grief researchers have continuously demonstrated that everyone handles grief in their own distinct way.
Elisabeth Kubler-Ross, the creator of the 5 stages of grief, herself said it was never meant to be prescriptive; it was meant to be descriptive.
So why are people still following a framework that is obviously not correct?
In this episode, we'll talk about the five stages of grief and the controversy around them. We'll also discuss frameworks to help you explore your emotions the best way you see fit after the passing of a loved one.
What You'll Learn:
The 5 stages of grief explainedControversy and myths around the 5 stages of griefThe evolution of griefUnderstand that grief isn't linearWhy it's impossible to understand somebody else's griefThe thin line between grief and clinical depressionDo people experience all five stages of grief?Mindset shifts to help you ride the waves of griefResources:

What does life look like when love is intertwined with loss and grief?
Melissa Gallagher shares how her world was turned upside down in 2020, when soon after learning she was pregnant with their third child, her previously healthy husband James was rushed to hospital and diagnosed with cancer at the age of 39.
In the months that followed her young family faced unimaginable adversity trying to navigate pregnancy, cancer treatment and raising young boys in the middle of the pandemic.
Although James fought bravely, he succumbed to his illness on his 40th birthday in July 2021 leaving Melissa and 3 young sons completely devastated.
Over two years on Melissa has gone from wanting to only survive for her boys, to slowly learning to love life again, even if it doesn’t look how she thought it would.
She has worked through her early grief whilst dealing with the demands of a newborn baby and recently qualified as a life coach.
She is currently undertaking further studies, in the hope that she can somehow take her experience and help others by showing them what she has finally started to see is true, the pain remains but only because love does too, and that laughter really does return.
In this interview, we explore:
Melissa's personal journey of coping with the loss of her husband, James, in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.The emotional rollercoaster of Dealing with cancer and pregnancy during the Covid restrictions.Coping with early grief with a newborn baby.The challenges of raising children who are learning how to grieve the loss of their father.Resources:
