The Hot Young Widows Club

By: Nora McInerny

Narrated by: Nora McInerny

From the host of the popular podcast Terrible, Thanks for Asking, comes a wise, humorous roadmap and caring resource for anyone going through loss and grief—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 tools for grief and personal growth, 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 by building emotional resilience with grace and humor, and even hope.

Good read for a grieving widow.

This was like a manual I really needed at this time in my life. Thanks to this book, the fresh new feeling of my heart being ripped out of my chest after my partner died, didn’t have to feel so awful and isolating. It’s still hurts but now I understand I’ll be okay. This book is recommended to anyone whose lost a loved one.

So real

As a partner of a widow, this book was so refreshing. It was nice to see the similarities of the words in the pages to my girlfriend, but also, there was alot of new things that I learned that maybe would be to hard for her to share with me. thank you

Loved every minute

Anyone dealing with grief needs this book! Have listened to it twice so far and am already looking forward to the third time, I’ve taken something new from it each time and will continue to do so. It’s short, direct, light hearted, and what every sad human being needs!

From one young widow to another

Thank you for this... it was exactly what I needed.
