Judy Lipson is the middle of three sisters. She first became a surviving sibling when she lost her younger sister Jane in a car accident, and nine years later she lost her sister Margie who had been fighting with bulimia and anorexia for over two decades. Judy decided to honor her sisters by starting a fundraiser for Mass General Hospital, where she helped raise over $80,000 in a decade. After that, she decided to put it on paper and wrote her book Celebration of Sisters: It Is Never Too Late to Grieve

In this week's episode, Judy and Maya talk about how it was for Judy when she lost Jane and Margie, how she deals with the dreaded question of how many siblings does she have, how she’s moving forward in her grief journey, what inspired to write her book, and how she felt when her grandson was born.
