Episode 26: Chief Leary and Overwhelming Grief
Manage episode 367855893 series 2914375
This episode originally aired in June of 2021, but since today is July 4th it seemed appropriate to share again.
Chief Jim Leary was our local Police Chief for 10 years, until his recent retirement. In 2019, his wife Martha died from ALS. Chief had 46 years of police service, and also served in the US Army. However, none of this training or experience prepared him for the grief after losing his wife. He's brutally honest and vulnerable about the grief experience he's had (and continues to have) and also shares tips on ways to honor yourself in the process.
