## Resource

In this powerful conversation, Nachi sits down with Zahava Farbman, a crisis, trauma, and bereavement expert, to talk about what families really need after tragedy. Zahava shares why grief is not something people simply "get over," how to speak to children after painful loss, what not to say to someone in pain, and why we never really know what is happening behind closed doors. She also opens up about her work with Aleph Institute, supporting families of people in prison, and the shame and loneliness they often carry. A conversation about pain, resilience, faith, and renewed sensitivity.
