Episode #20-Ben Harris

"Send us a Comment"In this episode, Ben Harris joins us to share his complex and compounding journey through grief. He reflects on the loss of his father, Phil, to a heart attack on 11/10/01; his younger brother Christopher, who died from a drug overdose on 11/17/05; and his brother Michael, who died by suicide on 02/06/12 after struggling with mental health challenges following his service as a Marine in Afghanistan.Ben speaks candidly about the habits and coping mechanisms we develop in grief—some that sustain us, and others that ultimately do not. He reminds us that while grief requires us to feel it in order to heal, it is not meant to be endless suffering. Through intentional practices like gratitude and serving others, we can begin to find purpose and healing along the way.To learn more about Ben and his work, visit www.siblingstrong.online
