She spends her professional life elevating conversations about death and loss — including as host of this podcast series. But when her own mother — Eileen — died in February, Stephanie Garry was thrust into the journey of mourning and grief herself, gaining new and greater perspective through the lens of her own family.

In this special episode of Exit Strategy, Stephanie gives her host microphone to Rabbi Angela Buchdahl of Central Synagogue in New York. Together, they reveal the truisms of Jewish ritual and community, the necessity of self-awareness, and the inevitability of generational succession … at once personal and universal.
