Title: Grief Happens in Rare Disease: Let’s Talk About it Already
Date: Thursday, January 15, 2026
Time: 1 PM CST / 2 PM EST
Speaker:
Lisa Keefauver, MSW
Webinar Overview:
Given 100% of us experience loss, multiple times in our lives, means that when we work with humans, we’re working with grievers. That’s why our grief-illiterate culture is deeply problematic, causing so much unnecessary suffering. Based on her professional wisdom as a narrative-therapy trained social worker and her personal insights as a widow and cancer survivor, Keefauver combines metaphor, science, storytelling and humor to help audiences more fully understand the expansiveness and pervasiveness of both the sources and impact of grief in our work and personal lives.
