April 27, 2019 @ 8:00 pm - 10:00 pm

Free
View Venue Website, 1329 NE Fremont, Portland, OR 97212 + Google Map

When we lose someone we cannot live without, our lives become split into two time frames: Before and After. The After is the rest of our lives, often decades.

Join us as we hear stories from people who are 6 months to 40 years our from their losses. Come hear how each story is unique and how each has so much overlap and commonality. Come hear how our grief changes over time and how it stays the same. Come hear how love, the true origin of our grief, absolutely never ends or changes.

Featuring:
DeAnn Welker
Monica Welty
Sue Moshofsky
Karin Stanley
Anne Gudger
Jewelie Randall
Mary Mandeville

This event is free! Libations available for purchase at this important literary hub of our community!

If you are able, donations will be gratefully accepted to benefit Brief Encounters, Portland’s pregnancy and infant loss support group. Donations will be given in honor of Harvey Walker, Monica’s son and inspiration for this event, on the occasion of his 6th birthday.
