Terribly.But it wasn’t a mistake.Rabbi Dee made the conscious choice not to remain trapped in his grief, forgetting those around him. His three surviving children still needed their father.And so, through tears and pain, he told them: “We just lived Chapter One of our lives. Now we turn the page to Chapter Two.”There may always be pain.But they will live with as much simcha as they can.Is it always easy? No.Is it possible? Yes.Do you want to hear how?Click below. 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?
