The Minds of Madness - True Crime Stories

Episode 125 - Gorgeous Grey-Haired Widower

In June 2011, UK author Helen Bailey began writing a blog after the death of her husband as a way to deal with her grief and to provide comfort and a voice to the bereaved. 
 
She openly chronicled her journey following her loss - the ins and outs, the highs and lows, and eventually revealed that things were, indeed, getting better for her - she’d met someone: a man she called “The Gorgeous Grey-Haired Widower.”
