Knit to This
Katie Couric and Sheryl Sandberg
I’m not sure how I feel about this one, but it’s a subject of interest to me—the loss of one’s life partner in mid-life—discussed by two women who have experienced it. It’s a deep well. I have a lot to say about it myself, but I say little, I guess out of a sense that it is a Big Mystery and who am I to say anything about it? (I know! I say a lot about everything! So this is another mystery.) It certainly doesn’t seem to me like a problem to be solved, or “Option B.” It’s good to hear it talked about, though, that’s for sure.
Katie Couric is a good interviewer. Here’s the link to Katie Couric’s podcast. Scroll down to the conversation with Sheryl Sandberg and Adam Grant, or if you’re in the mood for something more cheerful, such as scrambled eggs with truffle butter, Ina Garten (with surprise appearance of the delightful Jeffrey, America’s best-fed husband).
It’s 5:55am. I’m up way to early but you ladies beat me everyday. First because you manage to publish something interesting EVERYDAY but have it up and ready before the crack of dawn. AMAZING WOMEN! Now get some sleep
Thank you too. Cathy aka Paula’s friend
Dear Kay, I am so sorry.
Thanks for both podcast suggestions. I like my podcast listening to reflect life: the bitter and the sweet. You make my knitting time so much more interesting.
Hi Kay — not so sure how I feel about it either – and just wanted to say hope you have a Happy Mother’s Day. Given the rain here in the ‘tri state area” it is a good day to sit and watch some good British tv and knit …
It’s such a huge, terrible topic, but I get you wanting to hear how others have coped. Many of us will be where you are, where they are, but in our own individual way. It’s good to hear others reframe our own experiences when we’re ready. I cannot imagine the upheaval. Thanks for the recommendation. I am also an Ina (and Jeffrey) fan:).
Not everything can be put in a neat little box.
