Giving Grief a Voice with Special Guest Jo Betz

I am so thrilled to be able to share this conversation with you, Jo is such a beautiful soul and I absolutely love talking to her, I could have carried on for hours.

I feel like Jo is a kindred spirit, her energy is so warm and full of optimism. I just wish we lived closer and could be friends in real life.

Jo’s husband Craig died at home in the middle of the night from an asthma attack in 2017. Jo talks very openly and honestly about how she navigated that  first year of her grief, and how differently she tells her story now compared to then.

After fighting the inevitable changes loss brings to our lives, Jo shares how she learnt to surrender and allow what was to be, ultimately learning how to grow around her grief and open her heart to new possibilities and opportunities.

We talk about the challenges of supporting grieving children, how relationships with our children change and the strong bond we can sometimes feel that may not have previously been there.

Jo tells us about how she learnt to trust herself and her ability to make decisions again, how she dealt with the identity crisis we all face and how she finds Joy in her life now.

So much of what Jo said in this conversation resonated so deeply with me, It was like she was talking about me at times, so I know you’ll feel the same.
