In this heartwarming episode, Michelle Bader Ebersole and Rob Linger invite listeners to the profound challenges and transformative journeys they've faced as widows. Join us as Rob shares insights on recent home renovations and his impending move, symbolizing a fresh start and deep gestures of love inspired by faith.
Surviving the holidays after losing a spouse takes center stage as the duo discusses coping mechanisms and personal experiences. Rob opens up about maintaining family traditions during the first holiday season without his wife, Kathy, focusing on the emotional weight of the "empty chair" and the solace he finds in faith. He also shares practical advice for adjusting traditions to honor loved ones while embracing new beginnings.
Michelle recounts her own journey through holiday grief, sharing how she balanced keeping beloved traditions with alterations to manage the emotional toll. From watching Christmas movies early to changing tree farms and incorporating new activities like visiting Great Wolf Lodge, she provides listeners with actionable tips to blend the old with the new in a manageable way.
Both hosts emphasize the importance of giving oneself permission to feel all emotions during the holidays, carving out time for solitude, and engaging in family activities that spark joy. They highlight the impact of including late spouses' memories in holiday rituals, such as hanging ornaments with pictures or sharing stories supported by their current partners.
