Description:
Grief touches every life—and every ministry. In this conversation, Bishop Ann Ritonia and the Rev. Janine Driscoll, who holds a doctorate in counseling psychology, reflect on how loss shapes the human spirit, from the battlefield to the bedside. They unpack the difference between healthy grief and complicated grief, and explore how ritual, memory, and faith can lead us toward hope. This episode reminds caregivers that tending to others’ grief begins with tending to our own.

“The Listening Post” is hosted by the Rt. Rev. Ann Ritonia, suffragan bishop for Armed Forces and Federal Ministries for The Episcopal Church. Learn more about her office at https://www.episcopalchurch.org/armed-forces-and-federal-ministries/.
