From the host of the popular podcast, Terrible, Thanks for Asking,
comes a wise, humorous roadmap and caring resource for anyone going
through the loss of a loved one--or even a difficult life moment.
In the span of a few weeks, thirty-something Nora McInerny had a
miscarriage, lost her father to cancer, and lost her husband due to a
brain tumor. Her life fell apart.
What Nora discovered during this dark time is that, when you're in these
hard moments, it can feel impossible to feel like even a shadow of the
person you once were. People will give you all sorts of advice of how to
hold onto your sanity and sense of self. But how exactly? How do you
find that person again? Welcome to The Hot Young Widows Club, Nora's
response to the toughest questions about life's biggest struggles.
The Hot Young Widows Club isn't just for people who have lost a
spouse, but an essential tool for anyone who has gone through a major
life struggle. Based on her own experiences and those of the listeners
dedicated to her podcast, Terrible, Thanks for Asking, Nora offers
wise, heartfelt, and often humorous advice to anyone navigating a
painful period in their lives. Full of practical guidance, Nora also
reminds us that it's still okay to laugh, despite your deep grief. She
explores how readers can educate the people around them on what to do,
what to say, and how to best to lend their support. Ultimately, this
book is a space for people to recognize that they aren't alone, and to
learn how to get through life's hardest moments with grace and humor,
and even hope.
