Marc Maron opens up about the death of girlfriend Lynn Shelton

For Marc Maron, the pause the coronavirus has forced on the world has been particularly tough, because he lost his girlfriend, filmmaker Lynn Shelton, when she died unexpectedly in May. “The one thing the pandemic has given me is time to process and sit with the feelings,” the comedian and host of podcast WTF told the New York Times in a new interview. “I cry every day. The shock and the trauma have dissipated a little bit, so now I deal with the loss. I have her jacket that she always wore, and her hat and boots. I have the shirt that I met her in. I touch these things when I can and try to keep her with me. But to answer your question, it’s been challenging to be in this much sadness in a fairly hopeless world.”
