On Loss: A Parent
/
In this episode of the 18Forty Podcast, we talk to Dani Ritholtz – rabbi and author – about the loss of his father to further explore Tisha B’Av’s relationship to loss.

Dani Ritholtz lost his father to Pancreatic cancer in 2014. As part of his grieving process, he wrote a book exploring the development of his relationship to his loss throughout the ordeal. Here Dani talks about the book and its subject matter: how he dealt with the loss of his father.

– How does it feel for a family member to battle a possibly fatal illness?
– How did Dani and those around him cope with their loss?
– What effects did it have on their mental health?
– Why did Dani write his book?

Tune in to hear a conversation on grief and coping.
