About this Event
After the Silence: Making Room for Joy After Grief
What happens after the silence?
Join Oshun Family Center and Sadija A. Smiley, author of After the Silence and Founder & CEO of SAILS, for an intimate conversation about pregnancy and infant loss, healing, and finding moments of joy after grief.
Together, we’ll explore what it means to carry grief while making room for hope, connection, love, and joy. Through storytelling, reflection, and honest conversation, we’ll discuss healing without forgetting, finding joy without guilt, and navigating life after loss.
The gathering will include a conversation with Sadija, audience Q&A, book signing, and opportunities for connection and support.
You do not have to choose between grief and joy. There can be room for both.
Come as you are. Leave with space for healing, hope, and joy.
