John Canine has life experiences as a minister, psychotherapist, educator and public speaker. He has 2 Masters Degrees and 2 Doctoral Degrees, however, as he states, "I am still learning." His greatest reward is "becoming a companion in an individuals grief and assisting them through grief education."
 
"CANINE sometimes works with school systems, helping to teach children about death and grieving. He worked with a particular group of second graders recently only to be called in a few months later to help them cope, this time for real, when a favorite teacher died."

-Mona Grigg
-Life Goes On
-Livonia Observer
 
"JOHN CANINE doesn't claim to be the 'answer man,' but when it comes to grief, he's an expert! Personal experience brought the Birmingham Grief Therapist face-to-face with the intense emotion several times."

-Brenda Dooley
-The Birmingham Eccentric
 
"I just received a copy of your new book, The Psychosocial Aspects of Death and Dying. You are to be applauded for your positive remarks about funeral directors and what they need to do to protect the future for the American funeral."

-Ruple Harley, Jr.
-Former President
-National Funeral Directors Association
