The Art of Losing: Barri Leiner Grant on The Grief of Divorce

The grief that results from losing relationships is profound, but it can feel especially isolating due to the guilt and shame often tied to it.

Barri Leiner Grant has experienced the grief of divorce from many perspectives -- as a child whose parents split up, as a spouse whose marriage ended, and as a grief coach who helps others navigate relationship loss.

In this conversation, Barri shares how her parents' divorce influenced her understanding of grief, shaped her approach to her own divorce, and how she uses these insights to support others.

Barri Leiner Grant is a well-respected grief specialist, author and founder of The Memory Circle: for those learning to live with loss. As coach, educator and advocate, she holds transformative gatherings and workshops to explore grief tending tools and techniques that foster community, hope and healing. She combines her writing background and yoga/meditation training to craft meaningful modalities for clients and groups. Her work has been featured in The Washington Post, and Psychology Today. Maria Shriver’s Sunday Paper among others. Her mother Ellen died suddenly in 1993, and Dad this past year and she honors them in this work. She is Mom to Emma and Quinn and lives with her husband Alex and their pup Bean in NY.
