The Heckscher Museum of Art has loaned the library a remarkable piece of history. Seated Lincoln, a bronze sculpture created by Daniel Chester French, is now on display at the Main Library. The sculpture is the second of nine replicas of the iconic statue housed in the Lincoln Memorial.

Grief touches every life, yet few of us are taught how to move through it.

In this reflective and educational program, board-certified psychiatrist and author Dr. Claudine Jones-Bourne explores the psychology of grief, the process of meaning-making, and how storytelling can become a powerful tool for healing.

Drawing on insights from David Kessler’s Finding Meaning: The Sixth Stage of Grief and her own personal journey through loss, Dr. Jones-Bourne discusses how grief evolves over time and how we can carry love forward without being defined by pain. She will also share the inspiration behind her own book project, How It All Began, a legacy collection rooted in memory, family history, and resilience.

This program is ideal for adults navigating loss, supporting loved ones in grief, or those interested in the intersection of mental health and storytelling.

Time will be reserved for audience questions and discussion.

Books will be available for purchase at the event. Registration is required. Open to all. https://myhpl.libnet.info/event/16341127
