  • Nearly two years after Broadway star Nick Cordero died of complications from COVID, his widow Amanda Kloots sat down to talk about life, loss and moving forward. Nick was one of the first public figures to die from the virus. Amanda wrote a book about her journey and is now a co-host on CBS' "The Talk." David Begnaud visited her at home in California to find out how she and her young son Elvis are doing.

    just because she is open to dating and move on in life - it doesn't mean her grief period is over - people are cruel. She still loves Nick so much. She deserves to be happy - go Amanda!

    The waves of grief can indeed hit deeply and like a ton of bricks.😢💔😪 I know this feeling personally as I mourn my beloved adopted mom still. Who passed right before Christmas, Mother’s Day the firsts of many first, was incredibly difficult it still is. Rest In Peace continuously to Nick and I appreciate Amanda’s openness and vulnerability to share her story and journey as well…💛

My husband passed 7 years ago and when nic passed I sent you a short writing from a book I wrote. I hope it has helped you in your journey. Stay strong. Your love for him in your heart will never be replaced just added to.

      What the heck are you even saying? And there is NOTHING WRONG WITH BEING RICH. (Unless you do it immorally or illegally) It means you worked for it. You didn't squander your time, talents, money... RICH people are the REASON we have ANYTHING! They're the ones who start companies, foundations, etc. where people are employed, invent things, developed things including scientific and medical discoveries... Get off the "Rich people are evil" bandwagon and make something of YOURSELF. Make the world a better place. Don't waste your money, talents, time...

    I realized that the secret to making a million is saving for a better investment. I always tell myself you don't need that new Maserati or that vacation just yet. That mindset helped me make more money investing. For example last year I invested 80k in stocks (with the help of my Financial Advisor of course) and made about 246k, but guess what? put it all back and traded with her again and now I'm rounding up close to a million.
