Taking Off My Armor with Jessica Fein Coffee, Grief, And Gratitude
-
- Mental Health
In this tender conversation with Jessica Fein she shares the power of vulnerability and talks about how grief is love, how she’s grown her heart and understands that joy and sorrow live together. She tells her story of her daughter’s illness and death, and how her ambiguous grief was so different from what she names Hallmark card grief—the grief we think of when someone dies.
Jessica Fein is the author of Breath Taking: A Memoir of Family, Dreams, and Broken Genes and host of the "I Don't Know How You Do It” podcast, which features people whose lives seem unimaginable from the outside. Jessica is a working mother and a relentless warrior in the memory of her dynamic daughter whom she lost to rare disease in 2022. Her work encompasses hope and humor, grit and grace—the tools that make up her personal survival kit. She’s a seasoned media contributor, with forums including Newsweek, Psychology Today, The Boston Globe, HuffPost, and more. To learn more visit www.jessicafeinstories.com.
