Allowing Grief To Be Holy With Rabbi Anne Brener

Rabbi Anne Brener stumbled across traditional Jewish mourning rituals as she was preparing for her wedding. Her fascination with these ancient prayers plus knowledge of psychology and a collection of her own personal griefs called her to deeply explore the world of Jewish mourning and write the book Mourning & Mitzvah. Today we're talking about how God can be described as "a place" for mourners and how death requires our hearts and minds to jump from a physical to a spiritual relationship.

Remarkable interview with a brilliant spiritual guide and teacher, Rabbi Anne Brener.

This was such a powerful talk for me as I am grieving a son who crossed over last year at the age of 23. I resonated with so much and welcome the ideas for reframing my experience with the grief and the transition to an energetic relationship with my son. Thank you so much for this! 🙏🏼

life altering conversation. my husband of 35 years passed away four months ago. i’ve had people die in my 66 years but nothing that has created the overwhelming emotions like this current experience. this talk inspires me to explore more instead of feeling like a victim to life’s cruelty. thanks 🙏
