Mrs. Mindy Blumenfeld, LCSW
Mrs. Mindy Blumenfeld is positive and upbeat. She is smiley, and she makes you smile.
You would never know that she lost her youngest son Hillel to cancer. Although she has
been profoundly impacted by her loss, she won’t let the pain bring her down into
negativity.
She started writing about Hillel as a means of finding comfort. But really, her journey
with writing about her son began with the puppets she created when Hillel was first
diagnosed at age six. Faced with the challenge of keeping him occupied during difficult
treatments, she created cute little puppets. These whimsical characters not only
provided a distraction for Hillel but also became a source of comfort throughout his
battle, even during his relapse at the age of eleven and his subsequent years of illness
until he succumbed at age sixteen.
While initially crafted for one young child, these puppets have surpassed their original
purpose. They are now featured in a book designed to teach children about facing
challenges, and surprisingly, they have become valuable teachers for adults as well.
The story of these endearing puppets has also earned a place on the Relief from Grief
podcast. Mrs. Blumenfeld's resilience and creativity shine through, turning a personal journey of pain into a story that just might make you smile.
