Lissa Soep, OTHER PEOPLE'S WORDS: Friendship, Loss, and the Conversations That Never End

Zibby speaks to author Lissa Soep about OTHER PEOPLE’S WORDS: Friendship, Loss, and the Conversations that Never End, an intimate, original, and profoundly generous look at the power of language to nurture our lives amid the wreckage of grief. Lisa shares the stories of her friends Christine and Jonnie, whose early and unexpected deaths deeply impacted her, and how she found solace in their words and memories. She and Zibby discuss the intricacies of friendship, the ways in which language keeps loved ones close after they’re gone, and the journey of publishing this deeply sentimental book.Purchase on Bookshop: https://bit.ly/4ar9z2RShare, rate, & review the podcast, and follow Zibby on Instagram @zibbyowens!** Want more?
