This is a conversation I've been wanting to have for a while. I felt that I needed to be in a place where I was on the path of healing. I'm there now. My good friend Dominique Adevereaux is the one person I wanted to discuss this with. She became a widow abruptly as well. 12 years later, she has found peace and healing from her grief and she shares her story of getting to that place.

Although it's not Throwback Thursday or Flashback Friday, I wanted to share one of my most popular radio shows on "Girl Talk with Shelby."
