What a powerful way to start a Wednesday morning...

This episode, the Grief Dialogues duo Elizabeth Coplan and Halle Williams speak with Henry "Hank" Greenspan, a phenomenal playwright, actor, and psychologist (University of Michigan, emeritus) whose work has focused on survivors of genocide. His plays have been produced for radio on NPR and at more than three hundred stage venues worldwide.

Today's grief topic: Genocide. Where (and how) does one even begin to wrapping their heads around this massive level of grief? Hank walks listeners through various perspectives, including those of survivor caretakers, and how grief often carries through generations.

Hank is also a master of creative expression, which is exactly why he has been featured on the Grief Dialogues podcast. His plays and publications manage to capture and translate grief in a unique way, transporting the audience to feel the grief in real time, challenging stigmas and assumptions, and igniting a spark of community and passion within their souls.
