About this episode

The episode features stories from listeners navigating life after losing a spouse.

Special Release for Satellite Sisters : On today's Lizness School, we hear two stories from listeners whose big transitions were not by choice. Both of them are longtime Satellite Sisters and regulars in the Satellite Sisters Facebook Group. First we talk to Kathy Douglass, who lost her husband Ron last fall. Since then, she's sold or packed or shipped everything and moved from Minnesota to a town in France she'd never even visited before. Then Liz reads from a message from Doris Matter, who shares what her life as a widow is like on what would have been her 50th wedding anniversary. There's no right way to adjust to losing a partner. There's only your way. Email us about your experience with a life-changing transition at liznessschool@gmail.com. Also today, update from Leah who ran her half marathon in Nashville! Woo hoo! And an advance look at the next few episodes including our special Side Quests episode coming up next. SATELLITE SISTERS listeners should follow LIZNESS SCHOOL on their favorite #podcast app such as @ApplePodcasts or @Spotify.
