Broken relationships are part of life, but how do we cope and grow? What can we do when the loss results from forces beyond our control, such as illness or injustice?

Join a panel of Indiana residents for a thoughtful discussion on overcoming heartbreak and finding strength and inspiration admist challenges.

Learn from featured community members as they share their stories of heartbreak and transformation. Swap ideas with other Indiana residents in a small group-guided reflection, then discuss with the panelists.

You’ll leave with new friends, a renewed appreciation for Hoosier tenacity, and a reminder that sharing stories can energize, connect, and heal us.
