Grief and Inheritance

What we carry when we lose a parent.

A talk on grief as inheritance — the private ledger of what a parent leaves behind, and the ways that loss reshapes the rest of a life. Draws on Denise's essays for The Incurable Humanist and her family's history between Caracas, Mexico City, and New York.

Best fit for: Cultural centers, literary festivals, grief-adjacent programming, higher-ed.
