Nora McInerny is an author, speaker and host of “Terrible, Thanks for Asking” - a podcast that lets people be honest about the hard things in life. Nora lost her husband, Aaron when she was just 32 years old and is currently remarried and raising a blended family. Today she shares: 

• What it was like finding out her boyfriend had a brain tumor after about a year of dating - and why deciding to marry him was the best decision she ever made. 
• How she coped with grief and what she wishes she would have done differently.
• Why it’s so important to be honest with those close to you about how you’re doing.
• How she and her window’s family have maintained such a close bond and why that is sadly not always the case.
• How her current husband and kids make space for her husband who passed.
• How she continues to celebrate her husband Aaaron and keep his memory alive.
• How she has been able to use humor to deal with all of the painful things she’s experienced. 
• Why time is almost meaningless to her now.
• Dealing with extreme burnout and how she’s navigating it.
• Why she wishes she had more compassion for herself.
• Why Parenthood is the biggest examination of your own ego.
