Episode 138 - Grief Isn’t Linear: Learning to Carry What You’ve Lost with Krista St-Germain

Episode 138 - Grief Isn’t Linear: Learning to Carry What You’ve Lost with Krista St-Germain

Many of us know that grief isn’t linear, yet so much of what we’re taught still has us trying to get it “right.” In this conversation, I’m joined by Krista St-Germain, life coach, grief guide for widows, and host of The Widowed Mom Podcast. Krista shares how she helps women navigate grief with self-compassion, gentleness, and kindness, and stop making themselves wrong for what they feel. This episode isn’t just for those who’ve lost a spouse, but for anyone navigating loss and learning not to “fix” their feelings, but to create more capacity to hold them. Here’s what we cover:


  • Why grief can’t be defined by the familiar “stages” and why it doesn’t end with acceptance
  • How healing comes from increasing your capacity to support yourself, not from trying to change what you feel
  • What secondary losses look like and how they reveal the ongoing nature of grief
  • How to stop making yourself wrong for what you feel and practice meeting your emotions with compassion instead
  • Why we sometimes feel uncomfortable around grief and how to show up for others in a way that is truly helpful
  • The importance of normalizing sadness and modeling healthy grief, especially for children
