Summary
Our caller lost her husband to cancer when he was only 33. She talks with Gethard about working in oncology while carrying her own history of caregiving, the strange persistence of grief, and finding a partner who understands that people don't stop being part of our lives just because they die. Plus, CrossFit, the cruelty of Time Hop notifications, and why, from now on, the color orange is going to mean something to a whole lot of listeners.
