“How I Learned about Death: A Humanist Story”

This platform address will use the style of personal storytelling, in the tradition of former Ethical Society Leader Fritz Williams, to get to the heart of a universal experience: Every person has lost or will lose someone close to them. How do our experiences of death influence our worldview, choices, and lives? How do we feel and share about death and loss as Ethical Humanists?
