Coping with Grief - Gene Pearson. Pastor and counselor Gene Pearson will be joining us to talk about Coping with grief. What is grief? In the unprecedented times we live in, many people are going through and experiencing loss.

As a professional counselor, the majority of the work he does is related to grief and loss.
