Summary

Rabbi Steve Leder has officiated roughly one thousand funerals over thirty years. Even with so much experience helping people deal with loss, he realized he wasn’t prepared when his father passed away after a ten-year decline through Alzheimer's. His insights about what death can teach us about life are profound, and his conversation with Zibby is just as heartfelt as his book, which he hopes serves as a field guide for readers.
