Podcast S3 #01 has dropped with actor Greg Wise Grief = Love
“The Grief You Feel Equals the Love, you Felt"
Actor Greg Wise has appeared in British Television, theatre, and feature films. He portrayed the character, John Willoughby, in the Oscar-winning film 'Sense and Sensibility. Greg's sister Clare died in September 2016 from cancer, she started a blog post to update family and friends, which Greg took over writing when Clare became too ill. Two years after she died the blog was turned into their book titled 'Not That Kind of Love’.
