I Lost My Son. How to Navigate the Depths of Grief with Phil Cohen [Loss & Grief Ep 3]
Description
Show notes can be found here: https://theipsproject.com/2025/08/phil-cohen/
Phil Cohen lost his 14-year-old son, Perry, at sea in 2015. What followed was a journey through grief that transformed his life. It’s not a journey Phil ever wished for. Nor is it for anyone when they lose someone dear to them.
In this conversation, Phil Cohen, also known as The Grief Guy, shares his profound journey of loss and how he navigated the depths of grief—so that you may hopefully find insights, takeaways, and, most of all, support if you are going through your own grieving process.
Today, Phil helps others who have lost someone through his workshops, which you can learn more about at philcohen.com.
I sincerely hope this episode, along with the others we have done and will do in this series on grief and loss, provides some light—a beacon of hope—through the darkness you may be walking.
