Comedian Patton Oswalt, whose wife, true crime writer Michelle McNamara, died suddenly last year, has been
open and
brutallyhonest about discussing his grief and sudden label as a widower and single father. On the one year anniversary of Michelle's death, he's written an open letter to fans about his and his daughter's well-being.
He states he's finally had the strength to remove his wedding ring and put it in a box with his and Michelle's other "happy stuff" and it was the final step of removing the denial of his new life. He and their daughter will not be visiting her grave unless they have news to tell her. He said he has made friends with other people who have suffered losses and called the year without his wife as "awful" but "not fatal."
