RESILIENT PEOPLE is a podcast hosted by me, Janet Fanaki. I share conversations with regular everyday people who are admired for their resilience and are helping others to be resilient too. Following the passing of many loved ones in a short amount of time, including my husband, parents and daughter Isobel, season 5 of the podcast is focused on sharing stories from those who have moved forward in their grief. It's an opportunity to share advice about getting back to living again after suffering from loss. Grief is complicated, hard and sometimes seemingly never ending, so I'm using this platform to bring inspiration, a new mindset and motivation to those who feel stuck in not being able to let go. Now more than ever I've embraced the idea that life is too short for some and that its vital to run with the good moments when they present themselves in between the tough ones.
Thirty years ago, Beverley Burke lost her husband Kevin. She is the mom to a dear friend of mine, but as a fellow widow, she's also become my coach and a close friend. We spoke about her memories of being a young widow, advice for grievers to get back to living their lives and gushed over our mutual admiration for one another. Just the kind of relationship that every widow or widower needs.
In this episode, I share my friendship and the inspiration that Beverley Burke has brought to my life. Every widow or widower should know someone like her who has not only experienced the passing of a spouse but who has also continued to build a happy and fulfilling life on their own. We all need to know inspiring people like her who can help us to move forward.
