Author Talk: Kate Doerge

Moderated by Nancy Steiner.

An inspiring guide that reimagines the stages of grief into five healing actions.

There is no way to spin grief. It’s hard. It’s messy. It’s destabilizing. And every single one of us has to go through it.

Author and grief coach Kate Doerge knows this too well. Over six years, she lost her father to heart failure and her mother in a car accident five days before Christmas. She also faced the hardest challenge for any parent, losing her sixteen-year-old daughter, Penny, to complications from a rare genetic condition.

After Penny’s death, Kate knew she had a choice, she could lose herself to a grief so powerful she might not come back from it—or she could find another way through. Reimagining Grief is the result of that search.

Drawing from her own experience, the latest research, and conversations with others who have faced devastating loss, Kate offers five actions that can help ground you when you feel out of control, lift you when you’re depleted, and help you process the pain of loss.
