Interview with Dana Russo - A Companion in Grief, episode 67

Today we have a special guest. Dana Russo is a long-time friend of mine. She has made beautiful music for large and small audiences. And she has turned loss and grief in her own life into a powerful, compassionate ministry to others—to people like you and me who love a prodigal.

Dana founded HOPE RISES (hope-rises.com) to companion others in grief and provide much needed education in our mourning-avoidant culture.

Dana’s degree in Social Work, two certifications in Death and Grief care, and over four decades of walking alongside hurting hearts provides her a wealth of experience. She is also a Spiritual Director and a well-seasoned speaker. She has been married 36 years to Michael who is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor also trained in Grief care. Together they run the Hope Rises practice. They have two grown children who are married to wonderful spouses, and one 2 yr. old grandbaby and another on the way.
