Life After Loss: Can Grief Suck Less? with Lisa Keefauver, author of Grief Is A Sneaky Bitch

  • Bookends & Beginnings 1620 Orrington Avenue Evanston, IL, 60201 United States (map)

When loss disrupts your life, how do you cope with the short and long-term effects of grief?

In a world where we’re facing both personal and global loss, grief is a pervasive—often heavy—experience for all. In her book, Grief Is a Sneaky Bitch, social worker and widow Lisa Keefauver dives deep into grief's impact on our lives and how we can effectively, compassionately lighten its load.

Together me in conversation with Lisa as we discuss:

  • Why the Five Stages of Grief is irrelevant (and how to measure progress in grief instead)

  • The heart/mind/body connection—AKA why grief isn't "all in your head"

  • What to say and do when people say cliché, insensitive things about your loss

  • How to use tools like improv, curiosity, and humor to move through grief's hardest emotions

This event is free and open to the public.
