Episode Details

Everyone’s grief journey is different from another's. As if your very own fingerprint, your experience with grief is uniquely yours – you do not need to compare. This is exactly what author and columnist Rebecca Faye Smith Galli believes in as someone who went through her own cascade of heartbreaks. Joining Irene Weinberg, she shares how she treated grief as a strange companion in her life after losing her teenage brother and her son, as well as being a mother to four children, including two with significant special needs. Becky also talks about her source of optimism and hope that allows her to continue moving forward despite the many challenges in her path.

IN THIS EPISODE, YOU’LL HEAR ABOUT THINGS LIKE:

• How the loss of her brother became the lens through which Becky has understood every loss since.
• How Becky coped with losing her brother, losing her son, navigating her daughter’s special needs, going through a divorce, and then facing sudden paralysis.
• Your journey through grief is as unique as your fingerprint.
• How Becky remains hopeful rather than bitter, and the real source of her optimism.

SOME QUESTIONS IRENE ASKS REBECCA:
