How Do We Go On Living….

I’m grateful for the chance to join Mirabai Starr in a tender, delicate conversation about the complex grief that follows suicide. Together, we’ll hold space for love, loss, unanswered questions, and the slow, careful work of learning to live—and love—again.

Join us for the virtual event on September 7th at 10 AM PT.

Reserve your spot here.

When a person chooses to take their life, it shakes the communities in which they lived. In addition to our grief about their death, there can also be grief about the suffering that person endured in their life—an ache so great they chose to end it. Perhaps those still living feel guilt. Perhaps blame. Perhaps shame. Perhaps there’s a persistent “what if” or “if only.” So many questions will forever go unanswered. So many conversations will never happen.

How do we go on?

We will not arrive at answers in this gathering. Everyone’s experience is so different. But we will meet this question with all the wonder we can muster, holding space for the complexity of grief after suicide—the love, the guilt, the unanswered questions, and the slow, tender work of learning to embrace life again.

In this heartfelt conversation, bereaved mother and poet Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer shares her experience meeting the devastating loss of her son, Finn, and spiritual teacher Mirabai Starr joins her in exploring how we continue to love both our deceased loved ones and the world that remains.

We look forward to gathering with you.
