How will you overcome tragedy in your life?

Facing life after loss is an ominous task. The subsequent journey will consist of many trials, revelations, and missteps in a continual evolution throughout life. There is not a straight, clear path to living after trauma.

Instead, we learn from our own experiences while gaining valuable perspectives on moving forward to a life with deep awareness and ultimate emotional recovery. This book will help guide you along this path to recovery.

Our guest today is Bob Millsap, author of "Shake Yourself Free: Take Control of Your Life to Move Through the Pain."

Bob lost his fiancé at the age of 22. Thirty years later he offered the experience of his journey to help others going through their widower's journey.

So, you say you're tired of being alone. You need a friend or a lover in your life, but where does one begin? Maybe you’ve tried dating sites, but none of your dates clicked. Dating at your age is unlike anything compared to dating when you were young. Every woman seems to have so much baggage: obligations, preferences, and problems you prefer not to get involved with. (As if you don’t have a few of your own.) Still, being lonely is no way to spend the rest of your life. You need help, and Herb Knoll has found it. Say hello to Herb’s guest on this Widower’s Journey Podcast #47, Let’s Talk Dating Hosts Christine Baumgartner and Barry Selby. Christine and Barry understand the dating world and are the right medicine for what ails you. You’re going to enjoy this podcast. Give it a listen.

What do Ted Koppel, Charles Gibson, and Diane Sawyer have in common with the Widower’s Journey Podcast host, Herb Knoll? Answer: They have all had the opportunity to work with Warren Kozak. A noted writer for ABC News, former on-air reporter for NPR, and most importantly, a widower, Warren has just released Waving Goodbye, Life After Loss, a new book (released in April 2024) in which Warren shares deeply personal moments from his journey following the loss of his wife, Lisa. At times, Warren’s poignant thoughts suddenly turn funny, leaving Herb and him in laughter. Listen in as the Widower’s Support Network visits with Warren Kozak, Herb’s new friend. Warren…what a great guy.
