Martha found herself widowed twice within a four-year period. The first time, she was working full-time in cardiology technology and had various side hustles, including conference planning, medical education, and a jewelry-making business. While it was shocking and hard, she had many activities that kept her going.
“I’m a creature of habit. I've lived in the same house in Pennsylvania since it was built in 1973.”
A few years later, she met another wonderful man and retired to spend time with him between their homes in California and Pennsylvania. They got married, but sadly, just 2.5 years later, he suddenly passed away.
“I found being widowed the second time and not working meant I had all this time on my hands. I had no life of my own because after I retired, my husband and I had done everything together. It was extremely dramatic to be widowed a second time. I didn’t feel a reason to get out of bed for almost 15 months because I didn’t feel I had a purpose.”
Taking the First Steps Towards Healing
Martha still had her daughter and grandkids, but it took her some time before she felt she could get it together. She took the first step by picking up a newspaper and looking for a part-time job. She found one in data entry that allowed her to work when she wanted and that helped get her out the door.
“I still couldn’t focus though until I took a class by a woman on grief counseling and transforming your life. The class made me realize every day is precious. We are in control of our own destiny, whether we choose to do nothing or make the most out of it. We never get today back, and we aren’t promised tomorrow. I learned to live in the moment instead of rushing forward or hurting by living in the past.”
Martha has since put her efforts into coaching others facing aging issues and who may have lost a loved one through her coaching business, Grow In Relationships.
“I like the coaching aspect. We focus on how the mind, body, and spirit transforms in each person’s life. It’s all about listening and asking questions to help people.”
A New Chapter with GetSetUp
A little over two years ago, Martha met another wonderful man, Chuck, who inspires her daily.
“He’s never idle and constantly learning. He lives his life intentionally every day like I do. Chuck’s mission statement is: identify needs, add value, and get results, which he uses to mentor small businesses. When I see the people we can affect and help by showing how to live intentionally, it's an incredible feeling.”
Both Chuck and Martha participate in the GetSetUp community. They have enjoyed finding other people learning throughout life like themselves.
Through GetSetUp, Martha and Chuck have found a supportive community and continued opportunities for learning and growth.
