The holidays are meant to be spent with people we love. But when a loved one isn’t there anymore, it can make the holiday season especially painful for the people left behind. It can also be hard to know what to say when someone you care about is grieving.
To help us all navigate this holiday season with grace, we’re chatting with author and public speaker Rebecca Soffer. After losing both of her parents, Soffer co-founded “Modern Loss,” an organization that offers encouraging and meaningful content and community to address the long arc of grief. Her latest best-selling book is “The Modern Loss Handbook: An Interactive Guide to Moving Through Grief and Building Your Resilience.”
