Publisher's Summary

From the host of the popular podcast Terrible, Thanks for Asking comes a wise, humorous road map 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, 30-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 on to 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 his or her life. Full of practical guidance, Nora also reminds us that it’s still okay to laugh, despite your deep grief. She explores how listeners can educate the people around them on what to do, what to say, and how to best to lend their support.

Ultimately, this audiobook 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.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Everyone should read listen to this book

I have listened to this at least 5 times since losing my husband 17 months ago. Every time there is something I missed the last time. It makes me accept my feeling and struggles with a dash of humour. I highly recommend this book

Useful and funny too!

I’ve listened to this audiobook several times + find it not only comforting but entertaining as well. I’m a hot OLD widow, but the author’s tips on grieving will apply to everyone who’s lost a spouse.

Like having coffee with a friend that gets you

A quick and easy listen! I found this book very comforting and supportive as well as validating of my own experience of grieving my husband. I very much appreciated Nora's quick wit and humorous approach to and otherwise heavy topic. Definitely recommend.
