This week my conversation about finding the beauty in life and learning to accept the inevitability of death with Rabbi Steve Leder continues.
It can be difficult and scary to talk about death as adults, so having to do so with our kids can cause us to freeze up and shut down. But by being open and honest about death, an inevitable part of life, we lay the groundwork our children need to develop the tools to process loss and work through feelings of grief and pain.
