One of life\\u2019s most profound and devastating experiences can be losing a spouse. It\\u2019s a journey that can be marked by sorrow and the reshaping of one\'s identity, but it\\u2019s not one you have to go on alone. For today\\u2019s conversation, I\\u2019m joined by author, veteran journalist, and speaker Leslie Streeter. Leslie is the author of the memoir, \\u201cBlack Widow: A Sad-Funny Journey Through Grief for People Who Normally Avoid Books with Words Like "Journey" in the Title.\\u201d A native of Baltimore, Maryland, she and her work have been featured in The Washington Post, CNN, the Atlantic, and more.

\\n

During our conversation today, Leslie and I discuss the shifting stages of grief in the aftermath of losing a spouse, how having a village aided her through the death of her spouse, and what our society gets wrong about helping loved-ones through a grief experience.
