Ron Glenn Kelly: Men and Grief

Posted on May 25, 2017 - by admin

Glenn Kelly, author of Sometimes I Cry In The Shower, unexpectedly lost his teenage son and only child to a congenital heart defect. Since then, he has become an authority on male versus female expressions of grief. Citing the impacts of Nature and Nurture on each sex, R. Glenn brings awareness of how these pre-wired differences, which seem opposing at first, can actually lead to long-term, loving support throughout the healing process of loss. http://media.blubrry.com/open_to_hope_1/opentohope.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/25083238/R-Glen-Kelly.mp3Podcast: Play in new window | Download
