Book Launch: Living in the Liminal Space
Description
Join us in person at CQU Sydney on August 6 2026 at 5:30 PM (AEST) Level 3, 400 Kent St, Sydney to mark the launch of this important book.
Living in the Liminal Space by Professor Sarah Wayland is a 25 year reflection on living, working and supporting people with an unresolved loss. The book, with a foreword by Emeritus Professor Pauline Boss, is designed for social work educators, mental health professionals, students and professionals working in grief and trauma and those with lived experience of an ambiguous loss.
The book will be launched in collaboration with The Missed Foundation to mark the end of National Missing Persons Week 2026.
Hear from the author, as well as Loren O'Keeffe (CEO of The Missed Foundation), and a panel of speakers who will explore why opening conversations about uncertainty is essential to our wellbeing.

We look forward to seeing you.
