After dating within a year of becoming widowed, and meeting a new partner more quickly than expected, Laura (pictured) felt judged and as though she was going against the grief 'timelines' ascribed by society.
She has now penned a book for people dealing with trauma and grief 'to help people learn how to let go of negative patterns and teach ways in which they might support themselves'] But just like Kelsey Parker, I experienced judgment for ‘moving on.’.
Clinical psychologist Laura Williams (pictured with her late husband Matthew and their children) found herself suddenly and unexpectedly widowed at just 35-years-old.
She has now penned a book for people dealing with trauma and grief 'to help people learn how to let go of negative patterns and teach ways in which they might support themselves'.
There’s an industry standard in grief space – an unspoken rule that you are not supposed to make any big decisions in the first year like moving house or meeting a new partner.
