.@amandakloots’ book ‘Live Your Life: My Story of Loving and Losing Nick Cordero’ is out soon. We talked through parts of the book, her response to COVID-19 skeptics, & the prospect of falling in love again after Nicks death.
I ❤️ her. Full interview:
She talks about the calls that came in the middle of the night asking for her permission to provide a certain kind of care for Nick. She was nervous. She felt the weight of the responsibility & yet was scared of giving the wrong answer.
I asked her if the experience of going through the illness with Nick and eventually his death led to her questioning her faith; she said it actually strengthened her faith, but acknowledged moments where she’d go home and yell “where is God right now...?”
And on the issue of falling in love with someone again, her answer was candid, very emotional & relatable for anyone who’s lost a partner to death.
