He is also the creator of the Global Grief Network app, the Grief Accomplice Program, The Adventures of Grief Guy, and Editor-in-Chief of Grief Talk Magazine. Tony is an international best-selling author, podcast host, conference host, guest speaker, and program designer. After experiencing the loss of his son, parents, younger brother, and many close friends, Tony's grief journey led him through a dark season that nearly ended in suicide. Through healing, education, and purpose, he transformed his pain into a mission to support others, especially men, who are grieving in silence. Today, Tony's work focuses on grief education, emotional healing, community connection, and changing the way people see grief.",
