What a powerful way to start a Wednesday morning...
This episode, the Grief Dialogues duo Elizabeth Coplan and Halle Williams speak with Henry "Hank" Greenspan, a phenomenal playwright, actor, and psychologist (University of Michigan, emeritus) whose work has focused on survivors of genocide. His plays have been produced for radio on NPR and at more than three hundred stage venues worldwide.
Today's grief topic: Genocide. Where (and how) does one even begin to wrapping their heads around this massive level of grief? Hank walks listeners through various perspectives, including those of survivor caretakers, and how grief often carries through generations.
Hank is also a master of creative expression, which is exactly why he has been featured on the Grief Dialogues podcast. His plays and publications manage to capture and translate grief in a unique way, transporting the audience to feel the grief in real time, challenging stigmas and assumptions, and igniting a spark of community and passion within their souls.

Katherina Thomas is a writer, narrative practitioner, medical humanities researcher and infectious diseases social scientist working with stories as a medium in healthcare. However, she is also a daughter who worked lovingly with her father before his passing to co-author an incredible story. Together, they “boarded the plane” of life through words, creating a treasure she will never forget and have forever.
“Illness is the night side of life, a more onerous citizenship. Everyone who is born holds dual citizenship, in the kingdom of the well and in the kingdom of the sick. Although we all prefer to use the good passport, sooner or later each of us is obliged, at least for a spell, to identify ourselves as citizens of that other place.”
― Susan Sontag, Illness as Metaphor
This episode, Halle and Elizabeth speak with Katherina in depth about her writing journey with her father, and how doctors recognized this process as therapeutic treatment during her father’s time in the hospital.

In chapters about diagnosis, word-finding, spatial disorientation, and behavior, the last chapter is about -- memory -- and she is able to recover memories of my father before he became sick.

Meet Sal Marx: a visual storyteller, artist, and patient advocator out of New York City. This week’s episode tackles a different type of grief: chronic illness.
After years of misdiagnosis and invisibility, Sal turned to art to express her grief and frustrations, earning a M.S. in Narrative Medicine from Columbia University. She helps patients, doctors, caregivers, and other stakeholders to synthesize stories into powerful tools for connection and shared-decision making.
Sal notes,
“My body and mind has a language of its own, that’s non-verbal. It’s important to listen to it, I’d rather express my grief that way.”
