We’ve been taught that grief is taboo and that talking about it should be avoided at all costs. This outlook can create unnecessary pain and isolation. The reality is that grief is a healthy, natural, and universal experience with enormous potential for meaningful connection. The documentary Speaking Grief explores how we can create a more grief-aware society by validating the experience of grievers and offering guidance to those who wish to support them. WPSU invites you to join Lindsey Whissel Fenton, creator of Speaking Grief and Learning Grief, along with a panel of community experts about how we can get better at grief.

Join Mayor Ezra Nanes and a group of diverse panelists who will discuss how we can meet hate with hope, action, and solutions.
