E125: I Am My Mother's Daughter with Dara Kurtz

Coming Back: Conversations on life after loss

Dara Kurtz received decades of wisdom from her dead mother and grandmothers after stumbling across a Ziplock bag of letters. Her new book, I Am My Mother’s Daughter is an inside look at the intimate wisdom shared across maternal generations and a love letter to the power of preserving the written word. Today we’re talking about the four different types of letters you can write or receive, why you might consider writing a legacy letter to your loved ones, and why it’s important to allow yourself permission to unearth old treasured memories (even if there’s an ugly cry that follows!).
