The Afterward

Service Description

Our June 2026 selection is Sally Page's "The Secrets of Flowers" a novel that weaves together memory, loss, and the quiet ways we carry both the living and the dead with us. Set against the lingering cultural shadow of the Titanic disaster, the story offers a modern reflection on grief that is neither overwhelming nor avoidant, but deeply human. We meet twice each month—on the 1st and 3rd Thursdays at 4:30pm Pacific Time — for guided conversation and reflection. Between sessions, participants receive a short reflection prompt to deepen their engagement with the text at their own pace.
