Course Description
​​

This eight-week series is a conversation circle inspired by the themes woven throughout Love in the Time of Forgetting.

The book will serve as our shared story that opens the door — but our time together will center on reflection, thoughtful questions, and attentive listening.
  • Care partnership
  • Holding on to self while offering care
  • Bringing family into shared alignment
  • Daily ritual and resilience
  • Hospice and sacred tenderness
  • Grief and loneliness
  • Walking beside those who are grieving
  • Writing legacy and the path forward 

Participants will be asked to read selected chapters in advance and come prepared to sit with the guiding questions offered for that week.

Each gathering will follow a gentle rhythm:
  • We will begin with a brief settling in
  • I will read a short passage from the book
  • I will offer several guiding questions
  • We will then move into shared conversation
  • We will close with a simple reflective moment

The intention is to create a steady circle in which we can explore how love, change, and loss shape us — we are all likely to offer care or need care at some point in our life.​
