  • Sexual Desires In Widowhood
    Oct 21 2024

    How soon is "normal" enough for a widow to start craving intimacy? Is it even possible to have a genuine desire for someone new after the death of a loved one? The simple answer is yes. But unfortunately, widowhood has traditionally been constructed as an asexual period. A widow may look to move forward, but not without the risk of being judged. A widow may crave intimacy from another, but not without feeling guilty.

    So, how can widows find space in their hearts to be intimate with somebody else and still love and grieve their person?

    In this episode, we'll discuss sexual desires and the loss of intimacy in widowhood. We'll also go through some practical tips to help you reconnect with your desires and rediscover your sexuality.

    What You'll Learn:

    • The loss of intimacy after the loss of the loved one
    • Understanding sexual desires in widowhood
    • Insecurity and the thought of being with someone else
    • The tragic traditions of widowhood
    • The guilt of wanting to explore intimacy with someone else
    • Why having your needs met is the key to happiness
    • How to create meaningful connections with those around you
    • Be aware of your feelings and actions during grief
