Really enjoyed talking with Jordon Ferber on his Where's The Grief? podcast. Always a friendly face CompassionateFriends, and a great guy to talk with about difficult subjects. We talked about losing a child, coping with grief, and dealing with too much egg salad. wheresthegrief.libsyn.com/author-james-g…

"Those five years opened my eyes to the mysterious ways in which the body forms and grows, giving life, and our extraordinary capacity to compensate and heal." Read this gorgeous, sad, hopeful essay by James G. Robinson theheartdialogues.substack.com/p/meeting-adul…

While writing my memoir about our son's brief life (@morethanamemoir) I met someone who'd survived similar congenital heart issues. In this essay, I try to explain why that conversation brought me strength, rather than pain. Leigh Kamping-Carder #chd #CHDparent #heartdad #grief #childloss

I like all essays shared by Leigh Kamping-Carder and yet this one seems extra special.

I love this piece by James G. Robinson about sending his son who was born with a complex heart condition to kindergarten. It's an excerpt from his gorgeous memoir, "More Than We Expected." May Nadav's memory be a blessing. chalkbeat.org/newyork/2024/0…

How do you define success? Michael Shapiro, James G. Robinson, and their students at Columbia Journalism School face the daunting question of whether there is life beyond analytics...and the markers of achievement that cannot be measured empirically. bit.ly/495rjQI

Goodreads More Than We Expected: A Memoir James G. Robinson Vassar College Vassar Club of New York a story that stays with you and inspires. There are a lot of good people in this world and some stay for a short while but their presence leaves a lasting impact

From the first pages of James G. Robinson’s memoir More Than We Expected: Five Years with a Remarkable Child, we know that Nadav is gone and that his father wrote this book to help himself make sense of Nadav’s life and offer those insights to others. jpost.com/health-and-wel…

I'm pleased to report that The Jerusalem Post has reviewed MORE THAN WE EXPECTED (More Than We Expected: A Memoir)! "Robinson writes with beauty, clarity, and honesty... Any reader can take something of value from the general truths that he expresses so eloquently." jpost.com/health-and-wel…

However, I would like to say that many of my colleagues and I have not been compensated or credited properly. Yes, we are students, but we are also professionals who deserve the same respect as our peers in this industry.

My memoir didn't win the Pulitzer Prize. And that's fine by me. open.substack.com/pub/jamesgrobi… #PulitzerPrize #memoir
