" One can&amp;#039;t even imagine what the last few months have been like for Patton Oswalt. His wife, true crime writer Michelle McNamara, died this April. Then two weeks ago he won the Emmy for Outstanding Writing for a Variety Special\u2014a bittersweet win, which he dedicated to his late wife in his acceptance speech. &amp;quot;I want to share this with two people,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;My daughter Alice who is waiting at home. And the other one is waiting somewhere else, I hope.&amp;quot;  Last night, Oswalt sat down for an interview with his old friend Conan O&amp;#039;Brien, and the two discussed grief at length. It&amp;#039;s not an easy conversation to have\u2014especially on late night TV\u2014but O&amp;#039;Brien and Oswalt do it with grace and good humor. Oswalt talks about how he navigated one of the best nights of his life without the woman who helped him get there. He tells a story about becoming a single parent, about helping his daughter through her own grief while dealing with his own.   What&amp;#039;s important about this conversation is its honesty and its positivity. Neither are two traits that are easy to come by after a loss like this. That Oswalt is able to sit down, to have a frank conversation about the most painful time in his life while making you laugh, is a testament to his character. It&amp;#039;s something we should all respect while always remembering to tell our loved ones how we feel. &amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;span id=&amp;quot;selection-marker-1&amp;quot; class=&amp;quot;redactor-selection-marker&amp;quot; data-verified=&amp;quot;redactor&amp;quot;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;/span&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
