Greg Wise

I am a being formed by loss, and I am uniquely more alive, more grateful, more compassionate, more understanding of my capabilities, more loving, more connected as a result of it.

In his profoundly useful new book Grief Talking, actor, author and screenwriter Greg Wise offers his personal experiences with loss, and encourages us to be more open in our own.

From the sudden drowning of a close friend in his twenties and the pain of infertility and failed IVF, to his sister’s death from cancer, he offers solace and understanding through his own moving stories. And he advocates for a change in our modern, suppressive culture of mourning, especially where men are concerned.

We are delighted to welcome Greg to discuss why and how we might allow ourselves and others a more open and healthier processing of grief.
