160 - Finding the Words to Talk About Grief and Loss with Colin Campbell

Ruthless Compassion with Dr. Marcia Sirota

Colin Campbell is an Academy Award nominated writer and director for theater and film. He teaches theater and film at Chapman University and Cal Poly Pomona University. When his two beautiful and brilliant teenage children, Ruby and Hart, were killed by a drunk driver in 2019, Colin fell into a terrifying chasm of aching and hopelessness. He drew strength and inspiration from the mourning rituals of his wife's Jewish traditions and learned to lean into the pain of grief. His book, Finding the Words: Working Through Profound Loss With Hope and Purpose, was published by Penguin Random House in March 2023. His solo show, Grief: A One Man ShitShow, premiered at the Hollywood Fringe Festival in 2022 where it won a Best of Broadwater Award.
