Grief counselors in short supply with gun violence rising PHILADELPHIA (AP) As Brett Roman Williams stood at the Philadelphia Medical Examiner’s office staring at a photo of his older brother’s face, a familiar feeling welled in his chest. Williams’ father was shot and killed in 1996, when Williams was 11, and the ebb and flow of grief had washed over him for 20 years. But in 2016, when his brother was killed by gunfire, Williams reached out to a grief counselor for help coping. Now, Williams serves on the board for the organization where he once sought solace, and he s trying to provide that same kind of support to others. But the demand is far outpacing the supply of counselors because of spiking crime.
