Grief Book Review and Discussion
When someone we love dies, we realize for the first time how many books there are on grief. Which one is right for you?
This is the third in a series of grief book reviews. In this session, you will have an opportunity to:
- HEAR about the book The Grieving Brain by Mary-Frances O’Connor, PhD
- DISCUSS the book and find out if it’s right for you
- CONNECT with other grievers
Monday, October 5, 2026
7:00pm – 8:00pm
via Zoom
Please note:
- This group is for adults who have experienced a significant death loss.
- You do not need to have read the book to attend.
- This is an interactive session and participants are asked to have their camera on (with reasonable exceptions of course).
