On SelfWork, I love to feature people who have used their own experience \u2013 and sometimes that experiences involves loss or grief \u2013 to live through something that has taught them important lessons. And they want to share that you.

Krista St-Germain is that kind of person. I\u2019ll let her tell her story but I think you\u2019ll be surprised at some of how she handled her response. She studied to become a life coach in order to try to learn what she needed to do to work through her grief and began a podcast so that, she, like me, could reach more people who were also widows and moms. She focuses on post-traumatic growth \u2013 and she stresses that PTG doesn\u2019t involved romanticizing trauma \u2013 somehow trying to convince yourself or others that your trauma is something that you\u2019re supposed to be glad happened. Not at all. But what you do with it is important.

Some of her major points:

• The myth about the grief stages
• How to avoid the social expectations surrounding grief
• Her truth about trauma, moving forward, and post-traumatic growth
