Forty-five kedoshim were killed. And Dovi Steinmetz was one of them.That night, Feige Steinmetz stayed awake, frantic, trying to reach her son. She called him over one hundred times.“Dovi, if you don’t call me back, I’ll kill you,” she said—half joking, half desperate, like only a mother can be.  But he couldn’t call back. He had already been niftar.And so began Feige’s journey through grief.She spent time searching for answers—meeting with gedolim, asking questions, hoping to understand why. Eventually, she came to a painful acceptance: some questions will never be answered.But her son is never far from her heart.“Grief is always with me,” Feigie says. “Some days I tell it, Okay, today you’re in control. And other days, I tell it, Today, I’m taking control back.”In this episode, listen to a bereaved mother share her story— a story filled with deep pain, intense love, and quiet growth. YouTube: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsK24OSmIYG_XWzeplhfmb8LJcWKphITh&si=untn3fmHLLaEEFNmApple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/relief-from-grief-by-mayrim/id1788349916Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3AvWNp0DrHqE5AVYJHooiK?si=ufpIObuGRumS5uFXmvrpgA Questions or feedback?
