How do you cope with loss? Is it possible to "be ready" for a loved one’s passing? In this episode, Josh opens up about the recent death of his father, reflecting on the funeral, eulogy, and shiva, as he and Aya delve into the complexities of grief, how it changes a person, the contrasts between sudden death and prolonged illness, the pain of grieving a future that will never come, the expectations we carry for our parents to witness our lives, the bodily toll of mourning, coping mechanisms, the interplay between grief and personal growth, the reshaping of self that follows loss, and the question of whether things happen for a reason.
