ON THE MIC WITH SHARI
-
I was recently featured on the Giving Grief Grace podcast that examines death and dying through the eyes of specialists who work in this space and people who have experienced significant loss. The podcast is hosted by Lisa Hartung, a daughter who turned the grief of losing her mother to pancreatic cancer into a passion for helping others on their grief journeys.
