In this episode, I sit down with Dina Gachman to explore her experience of profound loss after the deaths of her mother and sister. We discuss how grief reshaped her life and inspired her memoir, "So Sorry for Your Loss." Dina shares the realities of grieving two very different losses—one anticipated, one sudden—and how rituals, family connections, spirituality, and even food played a role in her healing journey. We also talk about cultural differences around death, the comfort of shared memories, and ways to support others through mourning. Join us as we navigate the challenges of grief, the questions it raises, and the importance of community and self-compassion. Visit our podcast page for resources, Dina’s work, and more on integrating loss into everyday life.

Today, I welcome Jody Gelb, Broadway actor and author of the heart-wrenching memoir She May Be Lying Down But She May Be Very Happy, to explore how joy can coexist with unimaginable loss. When Jody’s daughter, Louisa, was born with severe brain damage, her journey through grief, acceptance, and spiritual resilience redefined what it means to live fully. In this raw and deeply moving conversation, we discuss intuitive parenting, preparing for death with grace, and the sacred rituals that heal. Jody’s story is a masterclass in finding light in life’s darkest corners.
