Last week, I shared my side of what it’s like to date again after loss. But grief doesn’t just shape me—it impacts the person who chooses to love me too.

In this episode of Widowish, my partner Derek joins me to talk about what it’s really like to date a widow. From patience and pressure to humor and heartbreak, he shares what’s been hard. If you’ve ever wondered what this journey feels like for the “other side” of widowish, this one’s for you.
