Rabbi Steve Leder on Mourning -  Letting Go and Holding On

Hey everyone, it’s Amy Newmark with your Chicken Soup for the Soul, and today we have a special guest who I’ve admired ever since I met him for breakfast in Los Angeles four years ago.

His five books explore the transformative nature of suffering and grief, how to live a prosperous life without losing your soul, and in his newest book—twelve essential questions to tell a life story.
