Erin Clark, the widowed creator behind How’s the Weather, joins Anita and Mel to talk about life after losing her husband, the emotional whiplash of grief, and how widowhood can shift from “I’m fine” to “I’m not okay” faster than anyone sees coming.

Together, they unpack the daily realities: navigating triggers, handling the well-meaning check-ins, and learning how to answer the simplest question—how are you?—when the truth is complicated. Erin shares how she’s rebuilt routines, identity, and hope, while still honoring what she’s lost.

Fiona de la Mezzo joins Anita and Mel all the way from Australia to talk about life after loss, love after cancer, and what happens when you decide to date again before you’re remotely ready. After losing her husband to cancer, Fiona opens up about the strange pressure to “make memories” while someone is dying, and how that expectation can feel heavy, performative, and impossible in the middle of anticipatory grief and caretaking. She also shares what is happening after: finding herself, navigating widowhood, and stumbling into the dating world with some truly cringey, laugh-out-loud stories.
