What Does All This Loss Mean?

In case you didn't know, we're still making episodes that are available exclusively on Nora's Substack!

-

Jaamil’s sister died when he was just 12 years old. His grandmother and great grandmother died when he was 13. His mother died when he was 15. His brother was murdered when Jaamil was 22 ... and a week after that, his father died.

Yeah. It’s A LOT. But Jaamil’s story isn’t just about loss. It’s an episode about what loss can teach us.


Nora also writes sad & funny books! You can buy them here.
