Bestselling author Mitch Albom was at the height of his career when his favorite professor was dying. Mitch then spent his Tuesdays with Morrie—conversations that would change the trajectory of his life and career. Mitch continues to walk right up to the edge with the complicated questions around grief, loss, and hope in his books and charitable work. In this conversation, Kate and Mitch discuss:
Why the loss of a child feels so different than the loss of someone farther along in years
What questions we ask of God when we encounter death (and why we might not get the answers we hope for)
How we might count our somethings (our people, our blessings) without imagining that God is teaching us “a lesson”
