Let’s talk about grief.

This Is Grief: On the Road is a series of free community conversations about grief, loss, love and the life that continues around them.

Join author and This Is Grief founder Kirsten O’Connor for an honest, informal conversation about what grief really looks like, beyond the tidy timelines, clichés and expectations we’re often given.

There is no right kind of grief, and no right way to show up.

You might be grieving someone you love. You might be supporting someone who is. You might work alongside grief in your community or simply want us to get better at talking about something that touches all of us.

You are welcome to come and listen. You don’t have to share your story, speak, or have the right words.

Kirsten is the author of The Year After Kahlia, STAY and Tiny Invitations, and founder of This Is Grief.

Come as you are.
