Losing Your Partner (and Loving Again) with Kelly Rizzo

from Girls Gotta Eat · host Dear Media

We are joined by Kelly Rizzo, wife of the late, great Bob Saget, to talk about losing your partner, grief, healing, and finding love again. She shares the story of how Bob slid into the DMs, why she was skeptical of dating him at first, and their love story up until his unexpected death. She opens up about the grief, coping with being a young widow, who and what helped her heal, guilt surrounding dating again, and how the love in her current relationship co-exists with the love she still has for Bob. We also discuss how you can support someone who is grieving, and she shares passages she wrote in her grief journal regarding what TO say and what NOT to say to someone dealing with such a monumental loss. Before Kelly joins us, we are discussing our love/hate relationship with flip-flops and breaking down Instagram fonts (Are story captions getting too small? What does your signature font say about you?). Enjoy! Follow Kelly on Instagram @kellyrizzo and check out her podcast Comfort Food.
