Description

Mrs. Esti RotseinWhen Esti began feeling abdominal pains early in her third trimester, her sisters urged her to check out what sounded like labor pains. Esti laughed at them. After all, she was a long way from her due date. Why would she be in labor? She wasn’t laughing a few hours later as her twin son and daughter were born.  They may have been preemies, but they were fighters. Her little boy Yosef Leib was doing well.  And then he developed an infection. He fought to live, but Hashem willed otherwise.  Eighteen years later, Esti is a happy, upbeat person and a real pleasure to talk to, but she still holds the pain of her loss in her heart and freely admits that she misses her little boy. At the same time, she shares lessons and inspiration that might blow you away.

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.
