Description

Mrs. Libby (Samet) Kraft was in high school when her family moved to Passaic, where her father opened a pediatric office. It wasn’t long before Dr. Samet became a well-known member of the community and a beloved doctor.  Together with his wife, Dr. Samet went above and beyond his responsibility as a doctor. A pediatrician can be privy to many non-medical issues that a family might be dealing with; the Samets stepped in quietly to take care of so many people’s needs. Libby shares: “My father was there for everyone. But he was also always there for us.”It was Mrs. Samet who first came down with Covid. The children were worried but reassured by their father that she would be fine. And she was, B”H.  When Dr. Samet became sick, although they were also worried, the children encouraged each other that he would also be fine. Unfortunately, the Malach Hamaves snuck in and took the life of this beloved husband, father and doctor.Mrs. Kraft shares the details of her family’s grief journey. More than anything, her mother and siblings benefited from connecting and from supporting one another. And that is what they continue to do. Most amazingly, their wonderful, positive, understanding mother continues to encourage and help each of her children, as she learns to live without her beloved partner and husband. 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.
