Molly Rubesh is the author of the children's grief book Is Heaven Farther Than the North Pole? Through the desire to nurture her young stepsons following the passing of their mother, as well as her own father’s death, Molly was inspired and moved to write the book to help children cope with grief at a level they could understand. The book is the beginning of what she hopes will be a series of books that address such challenging topics as divorce and addiction, as well as the loss of a pet or friend.
Please join Molly and I, and her husband Grant, for this deeply personal, emotional conversation about life, love and loss, especially when it involves young children experiencing the pain and grief following the death of a parent. How do we explain death? What do we say? How do we together navigate that loss and move forward with life? Can there ever be 'closure'? It's a very important, compelling chat about the universal subject of grief.
