Tomorrow I'll have an opportunity to speak at the annual Utah Program for Inherited Neuromuscular Disorders (UPIN) conference.

I've been asked to speak on grief & hope - a topic that is near and dear to my heart.

Over the years, I've become something of a grief anthropologist, I suppose, trying to understand the meaning of my own journey. I hope to share things tomorrow that will be useful to those who face an uncertain and difficult future.

The key topics we'll cover are:
- The Deeper Meaning of Hope
- When Hard Things Happen (short overview of Mitchell's story)
- Confronting the Big Question
- A Key to Happiness
- The Healing Power of Gratitude
