SUMMARY:[FAN] Normal Broken: The Grief Companion for When It's Time to Heal But You're Not Sure You Want To Kelly Cervante
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, November 28\, 2023\, 7:00 PM\, Normal Broken: The Grief Companion for When It’s Time to Heal But\nYou’re Not Sure You Want To\, a FAN webinar featuring Kelly Cervantes\, in conversation with Christie Tate. \nREGISTER: www.bit.ly/CervantesFANWebinar\n \nBONUS AFTER-HOURS EVENT: Attendees who purchase a copy of Normal Broken from FAN’s partner bookseller\nThe Book Stall are invited to attend an AFTER-HOURS event hosted by Cervantes and Tate that will start\nimmediately after the webinar. Details on the webinar registration page. \nNone of us make it through life without experiencing loss that leaves us feeling broken. That’s what makes grief\nso normal. In Normal Broken: The Grief Companion for When It’s Time to Heal But You’re Not Sure You Want\nTo\, award-winning writer and speaker Kelly Cervantes isn’t trying to tell you what to do\, how to feel\, or the right\nway to heal. She’s also not flinging sunny thoughts\, vibes\, and prayers at you. After losing her daughter to\nepilepsy\, she knows that grief is many things. It’s weird. It sucks. It’s all-encompassing. Something everyone will\nhave to deal with. But never linear. Just as what we are grieving varies\, so do our journeys to process it. \nNormal Broken was born out of this desire to meet people where they are in their grief journeys\, to lend a hand\,\nor maybe to just sit in the dark with them. To acknowledge your brokenness and to feel broken together—never\npressured to “move on” or “think positive.” \nCervantes is an advocate best known for her blog Inchstones\, where she shared the stress\, love\, and joy that\ncame with parenting her medically complex daughter\, Adelaide. Since Adelaide’s passing\, Kelly has continued to\nwrite candidly about her arduous and\, at times\, contradictory grief journey. She is the current board chair for the\nnonprofit CURE Epilepsy and hosts their biweekly podcast\, Seizing Life\, where she interviews scientists\, doctors\,\nand individuals affected by epilepsy. Kelly currently resides in Maplewood\, NJ\, with her husband\, Miguel\nCervantes (currently starring in Hamilton on Broadway)\, four children\, and two dogs. \nCervantes will be in conversation with Christie Tate (FAN ’21)\, a Chicago-based writer and essayist\, Tate is the\nNew York Times bestselling author of the memoir Group: How One Therapist and a Circle of Strangers Saved My\nLife and the 2023 memoir B.F.F.– A Memoir of Friendship Lost and Found. \nThis event suitable for youth 12+. It will be recorded and available on FAN’s website and YouTube channel.
