16. Facing Grief, Finding Hope with George Chan

November 11, 2025 · 47 min

Show notes

Grief is universal, inevitable and unavoidable. Yet, it’s often misunderstood.

In this episode of The Leong Form, brothers Hossan and Stanley dive into a deeply human conversation with George Chan - Counsellor, Grief Educator, and Breathwork Coach at This Is How We Heal (@this.is.how.we.heal).

George spent three decades in the arts and entertainment industry before a personal turning point led him from theatre to therapy. His own healing journey in 2018 sparked a new calling to help others navigate grief, loss and the messy, non-linear road toward healing.

In this conversation, we explore:

  • What grief really is
  • How George’s theatre background informs his counselling practice
  • The different types and stages of grief
  • Coping mechanisms and when to seek extra support
  • How we can walk alongside someone who is grieving
  • The personal strategies George uses to stay grounded while helping others through pain

Grief may be heavy, but this episode is full of hope as healing is possible.
