If you have an Internet connection, chances are you've heard Nora McInerny Purmort's story. The 140-character version: Husband Aaron was dying of cancer, she wrote a touching blog about their journey, now she's an impassioned (and really funny) voice for grieving in the digital age. Nowhere is her voice better captured than on Twitter. Her upcoming book, "It's Okay to Laugh (Crying Is Cool Too)," will be a deep dive into her charming perspective. But it's only on Twitter where she can absolutely floor you with a simple, matter-of-fact observation: "Missed Aaron like crazy all day. Now, our son is sleeping like his dad used to: holding my hand."
