Conversations Live!: GriefThursday, May 21, at 8:00 p.m.Is there any "right" way to grieve? We'll answer this question and more with Lindsey Fenton, WPSU producer of Speaking Grief, along with experts.

Call with questions at 1-800-543-8242 or send questions to [email protected].

Speaking GriefTuesday, May 5, at 8:00 p.m.Speaking Grief explores the transformative experience of losing a family member in a grief-avoidant society. It validates grief as a normal, healthy part of the human experience rather than a problem that needs to be “fixed.” It also addresses the role that support from friends and family plays in a person’s grief experience, offering guidance on how to show up for people in their darkest moments.
