The Year of Magical Thinking is a memoir from Joan Didion, describing the time after her husband passed away. She gives clear and direct words to the tangle of emotions we experience during a period of mourning.

The last year or so certainly hasn’t been magical, and for far too many people, it has involved the loss of a loved one with its accompanying mourning.

Lyndsay LeClair reads an excerpt from The Year of Magical Thinking to perhaps help those of us who are mourning.

This episode was scored, edited, and produced by Andy Wicks.
