We are proud to congratulate Laurie Burrows Grad, who was honored at the House of Hope Gala this October and has now shared her story with LA Voyage.
The article features the speech Laurie delivered at the gala, offering insight into widowhood and how grief can reshape daily life, relationships, and a sense of belonging. Through her openness, she encourages greater understanding and compassion for those navigating life after the death of a spouse.
With the support of OUR HOUSE, Laurie found strength during a difficult chapter, and her reflections help others recognize that grief support is available.
Congratulations, Laurie, and thank you for sharing your story so other Angelinos know they can turn to OUR HOUSE.
