dc.descriptionIn part two, included here, Molly explores her developing relationship with her late husband's oncology fellow and the way, she, her two daughters, and the people around them processed their grief and Molly’s new status as a widow. This roughly one-year period ends with Molly confessing her feelings to the oncology fellow.
dc.description.abstractIn Back When We Were Normal, Molly grapples with how to grieve: how to grieve a struggling marriage interrupted by her young husband's death, how to talk about grief that doesn’t match anybody's—least of all, her—expectations, and how to come to terms with both the pain and surprising joy of starting a new life.
