Debbie Weiss on Adventures in Mid-Life Widowed Dating

I had such a great discussion with Debbie Weiss for this episode. We talk about three different aspects of Debbie’s grief experience: losing her mom at age 10; losing her husband at age 50; and dating in middle-age widowhood. Debbie is the author of the new book Available As Is: A Midlife Widow's Search for Love.
