In this deeply moving and honest conversation, Chana and Meir Horowitz share a story that unfolds at the intersection of love, loss, faith, and resilience.

They take us through their very first dates, their vastly different backgrounds, and the powerful connection they felt almost instantly — only to have everything change when Chana’s mother suddenly passed away in the middle of their dating journey. What followed was grief, uncertainty, and some of the hardest questions a couple can face early on: Do we continue? Can we hold space for pain and still build a future?

Together, Chana and Meir speak candidly about navigating shidduchim through loss, dating while grieving, choosing love in the face of fear, and how struggle can become a source of profound depth and light. Chana also opens up about her journey through an eating disorder, healing, and self-worth — offering hope and guidance to anyone silently struggling.

This episode is raw, compassionate, and deeply validating for anyone who has faced heartbreak, loss, or felt “too broken” to be loved. It’s a conversation about choosing life, choosing growth, and trusting that even the hardest descents can lead to the greatest ascents.
