We are incredibly proud to share this inspiring talk from our very own Sara, Bereavement Coordinator at HoriSun!
Sara courageously took the stage during Ignite Lincoln to give her speech titled, 'Grief, My Friend':
"Sara addresses how grief and death, though universal experiences, often create profound loneliness and isolation. By learning to openly discuss death, dying, and grief, Yates informs us on how we can reduce fear and stigma while becoming better supporters for those who are grieving. This openness creates opportunities for authentic connection and community care during life's most difficult moments."
From writing and preparing her speech, to rehearsing and delivering it in front of a live audience, Sara embraced this challenge with vulnerability, strength, and heart.
Ignite Lincoln events provide a platform where everyday voices can share meaningful stories in a supportive community environment, encouraging connection, understanding, and growth.
Sara - we are so proud of you for all of your hard work and for bringing light to a subject that touches so many lives. View the video of her full speech below:
