This month's session will feature a screening and discussion of Jason Rosenthal's inspiring TED Talk, The Journey Through Loss &amp; Grief. After the death of his wife, bestselling author Amy Krouse Rosenthal, Jason transformed his experience of profound loss into a message of hope, resilience, and healing.
