About this event
Helen Nearing’s last full book, Loving and Leaving the Good Life (1992), insists that how we live and how we die are not separate questions. Kate Braestrup has spent her life walking alongside people in their hardest moments and arriving at something like the same conclusion. In this talk, she will reflect on grief, presence, and what it means to face mortality. Reverend Doctor Kate Braestrup is a Unitarian Universalist minister and bestselling author of many books, including the award-winning memoir, Here If You Need Me. She has spent over two decades as chaplain to the Maine Warden Service—accompanying wardens and grieving families through loss in the deep woods. Suggested donation: $10
