About this episode
As a widow, I get a lot of grief emails. But this one stopped me right in my tracks with the subject line, “I was the other woman… and he died.” Today’s caller is not a widow. She’s not a girlfriend. She’s not a friend. She is the other woman, and she’s bringing us on her grief journey – the good, the bad, and the ugly.
