Grief support?

I heard part of the Moth piece broadcast on Sunday June 20 over WAMU (DC) in which the speaker described local East African people who were receiving grief counseling or some type of grief support. The locals were talking about how their traditions for coping with loss involves being outside in the sunshine, dancing and chanting together rather than being brought into dingy rooms by themselves, away from sunshine and their people. I am a grief psychologist and professor of pastoral counseling and would like very much to hear or read the whole piece. It has important implications for my work.
Thank you.
