Caring for their mothers at the end of their lives and grieving for them after their deaths brought them together. Seven women from diverse racial, cultural, and religious traditions with differing sexual orientations and life experiences became seven “sisters in mourning,” meeting to share their grief and to remember together—not only their mothers but themselves as daughters. The anthology, Sisters in Mourning: Daughters Reflecting on Care, Loss, and Meaning, is a rich compilation of narratives that emerged through vulnerable conversations—a spiritual, emotional, and existential exploration of the complexities of caring and grieving.
Join us on Sunday, May 23 at 1:00pm for a Zoom discussion on Mothers with the writers of Sisters in Mourning, including long-time parishioner Kathy Talvacchia, as they poignantly reflect on their experiences of caring for their mothers, mourning their loss, and finding meaning and new understanding in that process.
