This week on Grand Exit, Tamatha and Chelsea are profoundly moved by Myra Sack—author of Fifty-Seven Fridays: Losing Our Daughter, Finding Our Way, and founder of the nonprofit Emotion—for a conversation about what it means to live in the deep.

After her daughter Havi was diagnosed with Tay-Sachs and given 12–18 months to live, Myra and her husband created a weekly ritual called “Shabbirthday,” celebrating the birthdays Havi would never get. What unfolded was a way of living that was raw, intentional, communal, and in some ways, unexpectedly full.

You can expect to hear:

- How ritual can hold what feels unbearable

- The moment Myra stopped ignoring her parental instinct, to hear what her daughter’s soul was saying

- What it means to “do everything” without medical intervention

- What it’s like living with one foot in the land of the living and the other in the land of dying

- And how Havi lives in ways that feel so…within reach
This episode is about grief, yes—but even more, it’s about presence, community, and how love can expand time.
