Plane Crashes, Wildfires, War: Processing Grief in a World of Constant Crises

With wars being waged around the world and tens of thousands of people dead, individual and collective grief have moved to the forefront of daily life. Renowned grief expert David Kessler argues that a world overwhelmed by constant crisis is becoming "grief illiterate." He joins the show to explain the importance of dedicating time for processing grief in an increasingly desensitized world.
