Description

Sarah Rivkah KohnFounder and Director, LinksWhen you think of grief and loss, do you think of jokes and laughter?  Probably not. It’s not typically a topic that will make people laugh. But morbid humor takes the sadness and makes you laugh. It can give a brokenhearted person relief from the pain even if just for a few seconds.Sarah Rivkah and I share that common love of morbid humor. It hurts so much to lose loved ones, and all the jokes in the world won’t take away that pain, but for those few seconds that something funny and morbid come to mind, I want to share it and laugh with others over it. As Sarah Rivkah laughs and cries, she also accomplishes. What started off as a small newsletter entitled Links, morphed into a huge organization, with hundreds of girls and dozens of programs. The goal of Links is to help ease the pain of children and teenagers that lost a parent – no matter what it takes. And if someone has an idea that may benefit these girls or boys, whether it is big or small, Sarah Rivkah Kohn is on it.  So come listen and laugh and cry along with us. https://www.chevrahlomdeimishnah.org/product/i-wish-someone-would-have-told-me-a-book-for-teens-who-have-lost-a-parent/https://www.chevrahlomdeimishnah.org/product/i-wish-someone-would-have-told-my-friends/

I recently wrote a book called I Wish Someone Would Have Told Me for teens who lost parents. Since its release, I’ve been getting positive feedback from many adults who find it helpful too. Some find it useful because they were children when their parent died; some find it useful in understanding their neighbor or student who is growing up without a parent. All were unanimous that the book was filling an important need: the more I heard, the more it became clear that there is a great need for support for anyone who has suffered a loss. Still, when someone suggested hosting a podcast on this topic, I hesitated. Me? I should host a podcast? After much thought and a little research to see if those who had what to share were on board, I decided to accept the challenge. My goal is to bring you talks with all kinds of people who have all different kinds of stories to tell. Some of our guests lived through tragic losses, while others experienced more “typical” losses. Some guests are professionals and some are in the rabbinic field. But each has a unique story and a unique perspective. It is my hope that listening to these stories will fortify you with the support and connections you need and that they will help you gain understanding and clarity about your struggles and tools to help you become a better you.
