What happens when the worst day of your life becomes the catalyst for helping thousands heal?

In this powerful interview on Rescue Rebuild Restore, Suzanne Burns sits down with Bradley Vinson — known as The GRIEVE Coach — a devoted husband, father of three, and grandfather of five whose world changed forever after the tragic loss of his 4-year-old granddaughter, Alanna.

Bradley opens up about how that heartbreak redirected his ministry and led him to create The GRIEVE Method® and The HELP Method® — practical, action-step toolkits that bring real hope to those walking through grief. Together, Suzanne and Bradley explore self-care for the grieving, the unique pain of grieving grandparents and men, couples navigating loss together, suicide intervention, and how biblical truth meets raw grief in the trenches.

As a Fire & Police Chaplain, Emergency Crisis Response Chaplain, keynote speaker, trainer, and author, Bradley shares stories from the front lines of bereavement care and the organizations he serves with, including Camp Agape, Texas Grandparents Raising Grandchildren, and Compassionate Friends.

If you’ve ever felt alone in your grief, wondered how to support someone in pain, or needed permission to grieve well while holding onto faith — this conversation will meet you right where you are.

Bradley’s journey proves that God can take our deepest sorrow and turn it into a ministry of restoration.
