In this episode, guest host Leslie Sainz writes\u2026 \u201cWhen someone in my life\u2014an acquaintance, a coworker, a friend or beloved\u2014experiences a tremendous loss, I am acutely reminded of how language fails us. We give out heartfelt condolences such as \u201cI\u2019m sorry for your loss,\u201d \u201cMy deepest sympathy,\u201d or \u201cThinking of you during these difficult times.\u201d But they do not resurrect the dead and rarely comfort the living.\u201d
