We all experience loss - of relationships, jobs, friendships. But when that loss involves the death of a loved one, the process requires special attention. We interview the authors of the book "Griefland" about the unthinkable: loss of a child. Then, a wonderful guest from Connecticut Hospice about death and dying - and those are two different things.

The topic is body image: unrealistic expectations enhanced by media, teen issues, weight, wrinkles and other issues of aging. Our guests are Ilise Gold, ‎Psychotherapist,Licensed Professional Counselor at Ilise Gold Life Management,L.L.C. - and Chris, who lost 80 pounds and has kept it off for over 3 years.

many books including "Why Can't I Find Love?" about how to find love no matter what your age - and meet a couple who found new love with each other in their senior years.
