Grief Stories: Grief Sucks (But Your Life Doesn't Have To) by Brooke Carlock

Grief Stories provides a space for hearing first-hand accounts of overcoming a tragic death and living with hope and purpose. Brooke Carlock was living a life familiar to many as a suburban middle school teacher and mom of three, until tragedy struck not once, but four times over. In an incredibly challenging year and a half, Brooke faced the heart-wrenching loss of her closest family members, including her father, mother, stepmother, and beloved 10-year-old daughter, Libby. Somehow, she’s managed to turn her grief journey into a powerful message of hope, proving that even in our lowest points, we can find strength and even laughter.  Join Brooke as she discusses her approach to grief as presented in her book, Grief Sucks (But Your Life Doesn't Have To).  Like sitting down with an honest best friend, Brooke's take on resilience and hope, combined with her distinctive humor, offers comfort and camaraderie to those hoping to continue, transform, and ultimately find light again after deep loss. Brooke’s book will be available for purchase and signing. Online registration begins on 2/17.
