Join us to discuss "The Bright Hour" by Nina Riggs and explore how to embrace every day, even the bad ones, when faced with a terminal illness. Attendees are encouraged (but not required) to read the book in advance.
Riggs, a poet, mother of two young boys, and a wife of sixteen years was diagnosed at age 37 with what seemed to be treatable breast cancer, but within a year turned terminal. In the book, she opens up about motherhood, marriage, friendship, and memory.
Whether the book relates to your journey or not, this session is for you.
