The night before my husband Bob passed away, I was lying in bed watching Sex and the City (...And Just Like That)

Specifically… the episode where Mr. Big dies.

I remember feeling completely gutted watching Carrie lose her husband so suddenly. I was thinking, that would be the worst thing imaginable. Trying to put myself in her shoes… trying to understand that kind of loss.

And then, just hours later… it became my reality.

In this episode of Comfort Food, I share one of the most surreal and emotional experiences I’ve ever had—watching a fictional version of sudden loss, and then living it myself almost immediately after.

From standing in my closet surrounded by Bob’s clothes… to realizing I was experiencing the exact moments I had just watched on screen… this is a story about grief, shock, and the strange ways life can mirror art.

We talk about:

  • The emotional weight of everyday moments after loss
  • Why nothing can prepare you for sudden grief
  • The surreal experience of “recognizing” your own grief in something you’ve seen before
  • And how deeply certain memories and objects can hold meaning

If you’ve ever experienced something that felt too strange to be real… or had a moment where life felt like it was echoing something you’ve seen or felt before… this episode is for you.
