Grief can manifest itself in so many different ways, and its trigger can be widely varied as well. This can make life harder, but not impossible. In this special, KSL NewsRadio’s Maria Shilaos speaks with mental health experts about grief: the stages, how to process it, and how it can help us grow. She also discusses grief from a spiritual perspective, speaking with a religious leader to learn how faith can assist a grieving person.
Guests on this KSL NewsRadio special include Allan Pauole, clinical mental health counselor with Revere Health; Dr. Ben Christiansen, clinical neuropsychologist with Ogden Clinic; and Father George Nikas, Cathedral Dean of Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Cathedral of Salt Lake City.

He explores the process of rating a movie, discusses what the MPAA looks at when considering how to rate a movie, and delves into the reaction from filmmakers and studios to those ratings.

In the wake of rising political violence — including the tragic killing of Charlie Kirk that took place on the campus of Utah Valley University — Holly Richardson and Greg Skordas confront a critical question: What kind of example are we setting for the next generation? In this special hour, the hosts of Inside Sources explore how we can restore civility, not only for ourselves, but also for our kids. Hear from psychologists, thought leaders, and more to learn how we can build bridges across divides, starting inside the home and expanding to the larger community. Can we model respectful discourse in what seems to be a broken world? As Governor Cox stated, “This is our moment: Do we escalate, or do we find an off-ramp?”
