Join bestselling author and grief expert
Rebecca Soffer (The Modern Loss Handbook) and acclaimed journalist and author
David Sax (The Revenge of Analog) on September 15 for an honest,
heartfelt—and even humorous—conversation about grief, renewal, and
transformation. Together, they'll explore the universal experience of grief and
the growing movement to destigmatize it, as well as the importance of finding
meaning and living more fully in the wake of loss.
The Modern Loss Handbook is the guide Soffer wished she had after the death of
her parents—a practical, creative, and comforting resource for navigating grief
on your own terms. With warmth, wit, and disarming candor, Soffer and Sax will
delve into the book's insights and reflect on how loss can be woven into life
in ways that are supportive, provocative, and ultimately hopeful.
Whether you're grieving the loss of "your person" or looking to
support someone who is, this event offers a rare space to explore the often
unspoken, unexpectedly funny, and profoundly human experience of living with
loss.
