Rabbi Dave Yedid : Beware of the Vultures.
*Technically almost a Rabbi* Dave Yedid, who will be ordained in May of 2022 joins us this week on the topic: Beware of the Vultures. We discuss how to maintain boundaries when processing loss to prevent burnout from having others use your pain to work through their own. Sound familiar? Have a listen.
“Boundaries are the distance at which I can love you and me simultaneously.”
― Prentis Hemphill
We discuss:
- Setting loving boundaries while grieving
- Why do people always bring up their dead dogs when speaking to new grievers (lol!)
- The pros and potential cons of Jewish mourning rituals
- Choreography to death before and after
- Sitting shiva, the mourner's kaddish
- Cultural starvation around grief
- When the griever is tasked with supporting other mourners
- Giving mourners permission to feel what they're feeling
- Releasing the expectation to "perform strength" while grieving
- Dave's oral Torah from the book of Job, the Psalms, and more on suffering, grief, and praise
