Grief in Brief is a podcast hosted by Ken Barringer, LMHC a mental health counselor with a specialty in grief and loss. In each episode you will hear a conversation with an someone sharing a deeply personal story about their loss, or an expert discussing ways to manage the intense feelings and emotions that can accompany grief and loss, or a talk with a professional working in an area where we may not think of loss. Most episodes are between 15 – 20 minutes in length. There is also great irony in the title as Grief is NOT Brief. In fact, it's a marathon in a world that loves sprints!
