THE MILLION STAGES OF GRIEF with Author Michael Reed

On November 28, 2016, Michael Reed lost his wife and both of his daughters in the wildfire that consumed Gatlinburg, Tennessee. As he stumbled and crawled down this unstable, broken road of grief, he’s learned many lessons along the way. Michael is the author of THE MILLION STAGES OF GRIEF: A GUIDE TO FINDING PURPOSE FOR YOUR PAIN. Michael believes there is a purpose for our pain, and his purpose is to share his story and experiences to help others going through similar loss, trauma, or grief. SPECIAL THANKSGarden & Gun.
