Founder and philanthropist Kate Doerge visits Godmothers to share “Reimagining Grief: A New Path to Finding Healing, Strength, and Joy after Loss,” her inspiring guide that reimagines the stages of grief into five healing actions. She’ll be joined in conversation by Riley Reed, Godmothers’ head of storytelling.

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.

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 before facing the hardest challenge for any parent–losing her 16-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.
