In American culture, men and women are often expected to grieve in very different ways, but those expectations can leave many men feeling pressured to stay silent, stoic, or emotionally closed off. Morgan Rich is working to challenge that pattern.

Rich, a writer and life coach, focuses on helping men navigate grief, change and pain in healthier, more authentic ways. His work also explores what healthy masculinity can look like beyond the stereotypes that often shape how men are “supposed” to cope.

Rich’s interest in this work is personal. His father died when Rich was 18, an experience that pushed him to reconsider the way he lived and how he processed loss. In this episode of Grieving Out Loud, hear how Rich’s loss influenced his approach to life, masculinity and emotional honesty. He also offers insight for men struggling with grief and for the women who want to support them.
