Men have been raised in a culture of silence when it comes to grief. They are taught that showing emotion and asking for help are signs of weakness; they should only be strong and steadfast at all times. In honor of Father’s Day in the U.S., this special episode invites Marv Weidner [http://www.marvweidner.com/] back to the podcast to discuss how men can overcome this stigma, why they should never shy away from the topic of grief, and how they can finally feel free to be vulnerable. It’s a powerful and timely conversation for anyone who wants to better understand the emotional lives of men, especially fathers, and support them in their healing journey.
