In this episode of Widowed 2 Soon, Michelle Bader Ebersole continues the Widow Goals series by exploring Goal #4: Remember to Take Care of Yourself. After the loss of a spouse, self-care often feels unimportant—or even impossible. When you're simply trying to survive, things like rest, nutrition, movement, and joy can easily fall to the bottom of the list.Michelle shares practical ways to begin caring for yourself again, even in small steps. From creating a simple morning routine to making time for activities that bring joy, she reminds listeners that taking care of yourself isn't selfish—it's necessary. Just as flight attendants instruct passengers to put on their own oxygen mask first, widows and widowers must learn to refill their own cup before they can effectively care for others.In the second half of the episode, Michelle welcomes attendees to the upcoming Widow Goals Fall Retreat and shares what they can expect throughout the weekend. From inspiring speakers and breakout sessions to line dancing, pool time, worship, and meaningful conversations, this retreat is designed to provide healing, encouragement, and opportunities to build lasting friendships with others who truly understand the grief journey.Why self-care is essential during grief recoveryHow survival mode can impact your physical, emotional, and spiritual well-beingSimple daily habits that can help you begin caring for yourself againThe importance of creating a life-giving morning routineWhy journaling can be a powerful tool for healing and reflectionHow scheduling self-care increases the likelihood that it actually happensWays to identify and prioritize activities that bring you joyWhat attendees can expect at the Widow Goals Fall RetreatHow community and connection play a vital role in healing after lossWhat is one area of self-care you have neglected recently?What activity brings you joy and helps you feel refreshed?What is one small step you can take this week to better care for yourself?How can you create space in your schedule for rest, healing, and connection?Create a simple morning routine that includes time with God.Schedule one self-care activity on your calendar this week.Focus on nourishing your body with water and healthy food.Start a journal and write about where you are today in your grief journey.Reach out to another widow or widower and make a connection.Join the Widow Goals Online Community and get Michelle’s Widow Goals Course use code podcast for a free monthClick Here to Register for the Widow Goals Fall RetreatClick HERE to learn about the Widow Goals Support Program Click HERE to order Michelle’s book Widow Goals: Steps to Finding Peace When You Lose Your SpouseClick HERE to order the Widow Goals WorkbookClick HERE to order the Widow Goals Workbook Leader GuideClick HERE to apply to be a Widow Goals Group LeaderFollow Hayley's Parent Loss Goals Ministry Here on IGHere on FBClick here to be sent an email on the anniversary of your spouse's passing, wedding anniversary, and more Click HERE to review Widow Goals on AmazonGo here to see a list of all the areas we have Widow Goals GroupsFollow Michelle on TikTokFollow me on Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/widowed2soon_/https://www.instagram.com/widowgoalsSee my videos on YoutubeSubscribe to our YouTube Channel
