Summary
My guest today is Melissa Gould, tv writer and author of a new book Widowish: A Memoir. Melissa shares her experience of suddenly losing her husband Joel. Her honesty and humor make this conversation inspiring, and an inside look on how to navigate something like this or how to be there for someone going through such loss. Melissa shares how she dealt with having to make the tough decision to let Joel go, all the family dynamics, managing the heartbreak along with her only daughter who was a teenager at the time, and navigating dating again. I thought it so poignant when she said "that the one person I really needed to talk to and to lean on was no longer there."
Melissa is beyond straight talking and funny. I loved this conversation. Enjoy
