Grief can be difficult to express in words, but many authors have found a way to share feelings of loss through their writings. The Elizabeth Hospice is offering Journey Through Grief Book Club, a support group for adults looking to connect with others who also face adversity after the death of a loved one. There is no cost to attend. The book selection is Still, I Cannot Save You, A Memoir of Sisterhood, Love and Letting Go, by Kelly S. Thompson. The group will meet via Zoom every other Monday, starting July 10, from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. Grief Counseling Associate Mechelle Manista and Counseling Trainee Lynne Saks with The Elizabeth Hospice will facilitate the sessions under the supervision of Kathlyne Barnum, LMFT. Author Kelly Thompson will attend the sessions, inviting questions and providing insights to deepen the participants’ experience. “Our counselors will help the book club members explore their grief at various stages and teach them new coping skills for processing their grief,” said Kathlyne Barnum, Clinical Counseling Program Supervisor with The Elizabeth Hospice. “This is an opportunity to read, learn and heal with others who share similar life experiences.” Space is limited; registration is required. RSVP by July 5 to mechelle.manista@ehospice.org or lynne.saks@ehospice.org or 833-349-2054. The Elizabeth Hospice is committed to ensuring that grief support services are available to all in need. In addition to support groups, the organization provides counseling for individuals, couples, families and children. More information can be found at elizabethhospice.org or by calling 833-349-2054.

Kelly Akashi (b. 1983, Los Angeles) is known for her materially hybrid works that are compelling both formally and conceptually. Originally trained in analog photography, the artist is drawn to fluid, impressionable materials and old-world craft techniques, such as glass blowing and casting, candle making, bronze and silicone casting, and rope making. Encompassing a selection of artworks made over the past decade, "Kelly Akashi: Formations" features a newly commissioned series in which Akashi explores the inherited impact of her family’s imprisonment in a Japanese American incarceration camp during World War II. Organized by the San José Museum of Art, "Kelly Akashi: Formations" is the first major exhibition and catalog of Akashi’s work. The exhibition will be on view from Sept. 21, 2023–Feb. 18, 2024 in San Diego, following presentations at the San José Museum of Art and the Frye Art Museum, Seattle.
