Meet Nancy: dealing with grief abroad
Meet Nancy,
After two decades of living abroad in Switzerland and Denmark, Nancy opens up about navigating grief as an expat — balancing a global career in biotech with the heartbreak of losing loved ones from afar.
She shares how returning to the U.S. reshaped her sense of home, what helped her cope with loss overseas, and how she found purpose again by building a new life (and business) back in Montana.
We discuss:
Managing grief and guilt while living abroad
Staying connected to family from thousands of miles away
Reverse culture shock and the pull of “coming home”
Finding community and faith through life transitions
The importance of slowing down and listening to your instincts
Nancy’s Picks:
🇩🇰 Copenhagen — Zahida for vibrant dinners & Union Kitchen for a cozy brunch
☕ Montana — City Brew Coffee, where friendly faces make homecoming sweeter
🎵 The expat song:Great Is Thy Faithfulness — a reminder of strength, wherever you are
