| Details | Talking about death and grief can be challenging. We’re awkward and uncertain; we avoid feelings of sadness; we offer platitudes and send sympathy bouquets whittled out of fruit. At a time when we mourn public figures and national tragedies with hashtags and receive automated birthday reminders for deceased friends, it’s clear we are navigating new terrain without a road map. Inspired by the Modern Loss website, which the New York Times hailed as “redefining mourning,” Modern Loss: Candid Conversation About Grief. Beginners Welcome. is a fresh examination into navigating grief and resilience in the age of social media. Through essays from a variety of voices, Modern Loss offers comfort and community for those coping with the mess of loss. Admission: Ticket: $12 1 ticket + 1 book: $25 2 tickets + 1 book: $35 |
