Tuesday, December 1, 2026 2:00—3:00 PM Virtual Register for this author talk: libraryc.org/morseinstitute Grief is not a one-size-fits-all experience, nor is it a linear journey. Join us for a comforting and deeply practical conversation with grief guide and author Shelby Forsythia as we explore her book, Your Grief, Your Way: A Year of Practical Guidance and Comfort After Loss . About the Author:  Shelby Forsythia (she/her) is a grief coach, author, and podcast host. In 2020, she founded Life After Loss Academy, an online course and community that has helped dozens of grievers grow and find their way after death, divorce, diagnosis, and other major life transitions. Following her mother’s death in 2013, Shelby began calling herself a “student of grief” and now devotes her days to reading, writing, and speaking about loss. Through a combination of mindfulness tools and intuitive, open-ended questions, she guides her clients to welcome grief as a teacher and create meaningful lives that honor and include the heartbreaks they’ve faced. Her work has been featured in Huffington Post, Bustle, and The Oprah Magazine.
