Today, I am speaking to a truly inspiring guest whose journey through grief and healing has been nothing short of extraordinary. He's a father who faced the most profound loss a parent can endure, and he's here to share his remarkable story of resilience. Ben Goldsmith, author of the deeply touching book "God is an Octopus".

Ben's world was shattered by the tragic loss of his beloved daughter, and in the depths of his grief, he found solace in an unexpected place – nature. Through his experiences and his poignant words, Ben discovered the healing power of the natural world, a source of comfort and renewal in the darkest of times. In today's episode, we'll delve into Ben's journey of coping with grief, the role of nature in his healing process, and the profound insights he's gained along the way. His book, "God is an Octopus," beautifully captures the essence of this transformative journey.
