Summary
Brian Mayer speaks with Anne Goshen, Ph.D. who is a couples therapist practicing in San Diego, California.  In this packed episode, she talks all about how she and her husband dealt with the passing of his wife.  She discussed how it was difficult especially in the early stages of the relationship as she was not received well as a wife and mother to his two daughters.  Through lots of conversation and hard work, they have made it work after 10 years of marriage.  Anne also discusses her own divorce and how the terrorist events of 9/11 brought her marriage to an end.  Most of all she gives lots of great help and hope for those in similar positions in life that are looking to overcome these same difficulties.  We hope you enjoy today’s message.  For more information and additional resources please visit our website at http://www.theremarriedlife.com
Today's Goodies
  • Anne discusses how her husband lost his wife to cancer.  She talked about how he immediately began dating as a way to try to replace what he had lost.  She said the first day of their honeymoon, that they spent most of the day helping him close the door on his past marriage because he had not fully grieved her loss.        
  • Anne also spends time talking about how tough it was to enter into being a mother for her husband’s 18 and 23 year old daughters at the time.      
  • Anne discusses the demise of her prior marriage.  Her husband who was a Vietnam veteran had PTSD triggered by the events of the terrorist attacks of 9/11.  She was served divorce papers shortly after this happened.
  • Anne offers hope to those grieving these types of losses and especially help for those who might be helping someone grieve from the loss of a partner to death.
