About Alison Pena:
Alison Pena is a Global Speaker, Grief Resilience Coach & Bestselling Author who helps clients develop clear strategies to reconnect, re-engage, reinvent, rebuild and reset essential relationships disrupted by grief.
She calls herself “Bad Widow” because after her husband passed away in 2016, people were continually telling her how to be, how to act, what to feel etc. She took a “rebel” stance deciding to become her own self.
Having learned to grieve on her own terms, she now helps people through the various stages of their own grief to feel stronger and more able to take on what lies ahead.
What We Discuss In This Episode:
Alison shares her own story of how to deal with grief and move through life on your own terms. She shares how people react so differently through this process, and yet it’s a process we’ll all have to face, one way or another, during our lifetime.
In moving through grief, we need to reconnect with self, reinvent ourselves, and rebuild our networks. People experience all of these when grieving but, of course, grief is very personal and universal. We all grieve in our own way and in our own time.
People are often driven away as friends, acquaintances, and family members go through their own process of grief, because many times, people don’t know how to respond to the person who’s grieving. Alison shares not only her own experiences but also gives us some tips on how we can best help friends and family through times of grieving and be the best support and help possible to them during this very difficult period.
Alison gives us hope and encouragement as she shares her own experiences and her own outcomes.
