# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Stories That Shaped Us: Facing Loss and Finding Hope 
- **Event Start and End Date**: Mon, 28 Sep, 2026 at 06:00 pm – Mon, 28 Sep, 2026 at 08:00 pm (-04:00)
- **Event Description**: Everyone experiences loss, but not all loss looks the same. While we often associate grief with death, it can also come through illness, addiction, shattered dreams, identity shifts, broken relationships, and unexpected life circumstances. 

Radiant Storytelling and Gaston County Public Library invites you to a conversation that brings together four women with very different stories, united by one common thread: each has experienced significant loss and has discovered hope in the midst of it. Their goal isn't to compare grief or provide easy answers, but to create an honest conversation that reminds us we are not alone in the things we carry. 

Free to the public and no reservations are required.  Light refreshments are provided.  Ideal for adult audiences. 

This event will be hosted in the Carol K. Reinhardt Auditorium at the Main Branch Library.
