Grieving the Death of a Parent or Caregiver: James' Story

James Johnson, Jr.’s brother was killed when James was 11. Since then, he’s lost another brother, two sisters, his grandma, his stepfather, and his mother. He describes the pressures men face to “be strong” after losing someone they love. James regularly attends a grief support group and tries to use his experiences to help others, sharing what he’s learned.
