Grief can feel like a minute and forever.
In this episode, a mother shares her journey with a son who lived with cystic fibrosis, underwent a double lung transplant, celebrated his bar mitzvah, and was niftar shortly after.

We talk about the quiet choices that shape a family in loss: keeping life fair for siblings during endless hospital stays, preserving normalcy with schoolwork and chores, and refusing to erase a child’s presence from the home. She shares simple line, that is anything but simple. It is not bad, it’s sad; hold pain and joy in the same heart. She talks about how yearly milestones, and daily tefillah can hold you when answers can’t.

For those unsure where to begin, she offers small, doable steps: such as saying a perek of Tehillim tied to a child’s age, and treating each mitzvah as a deposit in a loved one’s “account.” Along the way, her husband’s book, Eight Paths of Purpose, emerges as a gentle field guide for hard seasons.
