Here's a line from Laurel Braatman's new memoir, what L'OV Here's a line from Laurel Braetman's new memoir, What Looks Like Bravery.

The people we love will die, and there's nothing we can do to stop it from happening.

It's hard-won wisdom, rugged truth wrought from her life,

which saw her father dying through her childhood, the burning of her home, and her own

private travails amidst public triumphs. Who among us would not rather ignore this core reality

of the world? But there are deep rewards for facing death and its manifold manifestations,

and Laurel Bratman will take us along on her journey towards understanding her grief

and unlocking her heart.

That's all coming up next after this news.

Welcome to Forum. I'm Alexis Madrigal. We're joined this morning by Laurel Bratman, the author of a new memoir, What Looks Like Bravery, an epic journey through loss to love. It's a book about the persistence of grief and about the selves we create to avoid thinking about death, our own, and those are the people we love. Sometimes that

could be self-destructive avoidance, or it could be overachievement, or sometimes maybe both.

Joining us to share her life and her book, thank you so much for being here, Laurel.
