Bradley Vinson is a kinship caregiver, chaplain, grief educator, author, a GRAND Voice caregiver advocate, and grandfather who has spent much of his work helping individuals and families navigate grief and difficult seasons. For the past 10 years, Bradley and his wife have been raising two of their grandsons, an experience that has deeply shaped both his family life and his approach to serving others.
Bradley’s caregiving journey began during a period of profound family loss. Stepping into a parenting role while his family was grieving taught him that healing and grief can exist alongside joy, laughter, and everyday family life. He has carried those lessons into his professional work, developing grief programs, writing books, and helping adults and children better understand and navigate loss.
Through GKU, Bradley hopes to strengthen his advocacy for kinship caregivers, learn from the experiences of other families, and bring new knowledge and resources into his work with grieving families and caregivers.
