CLIENT EXPERIENCE

"If looking for guidance, would you seek to find someone who has never stepped out and onto the path? Marie is one who walks her truth. As I wandered through the terrain of a divorce and long distance move, I found solace in the home-fire of Marie's warmth, generosity of spirit, and laughter."

-- Susan Lewis, CMT
Sierra Center for Oncology Massage, Grass Valley, CA



"Interesting presentation with a personal component for everyone."

-- Ann Fisher, Port Townsend, WA



"Your topic of widowhood was so enlightening, including self-worth and learning to receive graciously as well as to give. I took home a new awareness of how important it is to find time just for myself. I will also start accepting thanks more appropriately."

-- Addie Curtis, Vice President, Sequim-Dungeness Hospital Guild, Sequim WA


"Thank you for a beautiful and uplifting speech. After our meeting, people told me how much they appreciated your words and how right on you were for our group."

-- Heidi Hansen, Coldwell Banker Real Estate, Sequim, WA


"There is a period of mind-numbing grief after losing a spouse, but no respite from life's demands. Marie's experience in business makes her uncommonly qualified to navigate the financial practicalities of life. Her training and personal experience as a young widow make her compassionate and empathetic counselor. I know because she helped me greatly after my husband died, and I will always be grateful."

-- K. McKillip, Sequim, WA

Adapting to a Beloved's Death



After living as a couple, you no longer have a frame of reference for thriving on your own.
There's plenty of help available for moving through the grief process after losing your life's mate. Sooner or later, you'll complete your grief to the point where you are ready to live life again. What then? How do you begin again?

This talk gives you ways to shorten your learning curve and function better.
These are concerns you can learn to deal with in this session. You can learn to --
  • Heal and release old belief systems that say “I can’t.”
  • Take care of your own basic needs.
  • Live more independently and self-sufficiently.
  • Rid yourself of social fears like eating out alone.
  • Live for yourself rather than living for another.
  • Find the emotional intimacy and love we all need.
  • Revive and update your dating skills.
I'm excited to share with you some of my own experiences and solutions learned during the years after my spouse departed. Isn't it time to feel happy, satisfied, and fulfilled whether you have a life's mate or not? A handout and a recorded transcript will be available to all attendees.
