Facebook Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg is opening up on Facebook about the friends who have gotten her through the ups and downs of her life, including the hardest moment—her husband's death.
Sandberg's husband, Dave Goldberg, died in May while on a trip to Mexico after suddenly collapsing while exercising. He was 47. After nearing the end of an incredibly difficult year, Sandberg turned to Facebook to reflect on her husband's passing and come up with a New Year's resolution with the help of her friends from Lean In.
"When my husband, Dave, passed away last spring, my whole notion of plans crumpled. I stopped trying to meditate, but my connection to this group of friends was one of the things that helped pull me through. They checked in daily," she wrote late Tuesday. "Even though they live across the country, they showed up early and often. They did not just hold me as I cried—they cried with me. One day when I was feeling particularly alone and down, a card from one of them arrived in the mail. It said, 'One day she woke up and understood we're all in this together.' It has hung above my desk ever since."
