For the seventh episode of Game on Glio, the podcast about people who face brain tumors, host Shannon Traphagen sits down with social worker and grief counselor Dr. Erica Sirrine. What follows is a honest and powerful conversation that’s all about the topic most people never want to talk about – death. Dr. Sirrine is a thanotologist, which means her clinical and scientific focus is all about death, dying, and bereavement, both from the perspective of the person facing it, and those facing the loss of their loved ones.
