Mrs. Chanie Delman is an exceptionally sympathetic person, deeply attuned to the pain of losing a baby who was born incompatible with life. She understands how a parent may struggle with this loss — not only with their own grief but also with the conflicting messages they may receive from family, friends, and even their own inner voices telling them, "It isn’t so bad."

Mrs. Delman, who has worked with hundreds of women and couples facing this kind of loss, gently encourages parents with messages of validation and support. In this podcast, she shares important guidance on how to explain your needs to your spouse, how to seek support from family members and friends, and how to avoid being so hard on yourself after experiencing such a devastating loss.

Chanie also speaks about the difference between pity and empathy — how most people long for empathy but deeply resent pity. She helps us understand how to become vessels of genuine empathy, showing real, heartfelt care for those going through such a difficult time.

But perhaps the most powerful lesson is Chanie herself — a living example of compassion and understanding for those who have endured the heartbreaking loss of a stillborn or a baby who lived only a few minutes.

Esther Goldstein radiates empathy. Esther’s childhood experiences with grief shaped the path her life took, and now as a highly sought-after therapist, her primary desire is to help her clients navigate their grief.

Esther and I discuss the importance of connecting with clients on a personal level. Being a therapist isn't only about knowing the clinical facts and what the research says; it's about making genuine connections and respecting each other's experiences and personalities.

Esther talks about transparency—being open about what you're experiencing - even with your children. It's okay to tell your children, "I'm a bit anxious about something, but I will work through it. You don’t have to worry."

Speaking of transparency… come listen to Esther share her own experiences in taking a client role instead of a therapist role when she realized she would benefit from a therapist's help.

When Rabbi Doniel Hexter faced the profound grief of losing his 19-year-old son, he embarked on a quest for solace. His search led him to explore how revered gedolim have historically navigated their losses. Rabbi Hexter delved into a wealth of old letters and writings, uncovering a mosaic of grief and resilience that spanned generations. This research culminated in his book, Voices of Consolation, a compelling anthology that offers a rare glimpse into the personal hardships of our spiritual leaders.

Despite his naturally reserved demeanor, Rabbi Hexter brings these stories to life in his podcast, providing insightful perspectives on using the wisdom of our gedolim as beacons during life’s darkest moments. His approach not only enriches our understanding of their teachings but also helps us understand that we are human and experiencing pain is normal.
