Rebecca Soffer of Modern Loss The Widowed Parent Podcast

I had such a great discussion with Rebecca Soffer for this episode. Rebecca is not a widowed parent, but many widowed parents and others turn to her book and her community, Modern Loss, for support and connection. And now, Rebecca has a brand-new book: The Modern Loss Handbook. It’s a beautiful, full-color book, and Rebecca calls it “an interactive guide to moving through grief and building your resilience.”
Some topics Rebecca and I discuss include:
When she and I met at an event at The Riveter in Seattle on her first book tour, back in 2018; How lonely and disorienting it was when both her parents died when she was in her early thirties; Why she founded Modern Loss eight years ago; Why it’s important to normalize the conversation around grief and loss; Tips from the Modern Loss Handbook for finding support; Some ways that grief can impact friendships; Creating ‘bespoke holidays’ to remember our loved ones; and Why we should all create our own ‘grief manifesto.’ I hope you enjoy my discussion with Rebecca Soffer.
