Loss and grief impact all our lives, and yet not many of us know how to navigate them. In her
talk, Laura Thomas explores the taboo subject of grief as a surviving sister after losing her
brother to suicide. Healing after loss isn’t easy, and it’s even harder in isolation. Laura turned to
art, theater, and the power of community as a way to bring grief out from behind closed doors and into supportive spaces. In doing so, she found that we can find ways to heal together. As a writer, speaker, and performer, Laura is passionate about removing barriers to love and empowering people through stories.
