Loss touches every soul. It is born from love, and when it arrives, it reshapes the way we navigate the world. Some losses are so deep, they stay beside us—silent companions in every step.
Join Sofia Safi, author of A Flower for You: A Poem for All the What Would Have Been of You, as she shares her story of child loss and the journey of carrying grief with honesty.
This gathering is for anyone who has loved, lost, and continues to carry the “what could have been.” Come as you are with your love and pain.
Friday, Sep. 12 | 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. | MCC Prayer Hall | Join in-person or watch live at mcceastbay.org/live

About the Book
This beautifully illustrated book aims to wrap those who need it in understanding. When a child passes, so does their future, along with the hopes and dreams that parents and loved ones had for them. Those who have experienced child loss may find themselves wondering about the milestones and memories they will now never have with their child. Those thoughts are captured here in words and images by someone who understands. A Flower for You also allows for personalization, with a space for readers to add a picture and share thoughts about the child who has passed away.
