Oof... this one is a doozy. This episode kicks off with a few minutes that Alina recorded on a bad, bad day. She felt loneliness, grief, despair, anger, and so many other things. Afterwards, Alina and Judith discuss these feelings, specifically how after your child dies, any other joy in your life can feel like a consolation prize. But is it?
Is the joy we are able to feel sometimes now a cheap plastic consolation prize? Or have we somehow dug up some genuine gold from the ashes of our razed lives? Listen to hear our thoughts.
