- Friday, April 9, 12 – 1 p.m.
- Register
- Free admission
- Habrá interpretación simultánea en español.
What does it mean to be a success? To be a good parent? To live a meaningful life? Like all mothers, Emily Rapp Black had ambitious plans for her first child, Ronan. But everything changed when nine-month-old Ronan was diagnosed with Tay-Sachs disease, a rare and fatal degenerative disorder. Rapp was forced to re-evaluate everything she thought she knew about parenting. She would have to learn to live with her child in the moment; to find happiness in the midst of sorrow; to parent without a future.

Kendall Cotton Bronk, PhD, is a professor of psychology in the Division of Behavioral & Social Sciences at Claremont Graduate University.
