Ep #13: The Loss of Physical Intimacy in Widowhood

Hi, welcome to the Young Widow Podcast and thank you for joining me today for Episode 13: The Loss of Physical Intimacy in Widowhood

 

I'm Britany, your host, and I'm happy you could join today. This is a topic that was requested on Instagram. I'm always happy to do those topics. This is going to be a very intimate and personal topic, and I'm going to do the best to give you the advice that I can.

 

 It is really hard to replace physical intimacy in widowhood. Whereas when you're dealing with the emotional aspect of grief, you're able to work through coping mechanisms for that.   While those two aspects of loss and widowhood go hand in hand. They are very different when you're trying to navigate it.

 

Today, we're going to cover the loss of physical intimacy, how that affects you physically and emotionally, as well as what that may feel like, thoughts that may be going through your head,  and then any advice that I can give you.
