Mocktail Hour with Kelley Lynn
VIP guests gather the evening before for an intimate mocktail hour featuring widow, comedian, TEDx speaker, author, and grief advocate Kelley Lynn. Expect laughter, honesty, connection, and hope — a powerful night before the main event.
Kelley became a leading voice in grief support. Her TEDx talk, “When Someone You Love Dies, There is No Such Thing as Moving On,” has reached millions. Her book, My Husband Is Not a Rainbow, shares an honest and often humorous perspective on grief, love, and rebuilding life after loss.

The Hope Mic Story Slam · Stories of Experience, Strength & Hope
The day will close with The Hope Mic Story Slam — an open invitation for widows to share their stories in a supportive, judgment-free space.
Each speaker will have 3 minutes to share a piece of their experience, strength, and hope — whether it's a moment of grief, love, humor, survival, rebuilding, or what life after loss has taught them.
This closing event honors the truth that every widow has a story, and that sharing those stories can be healing for the person speaking and for every woman listening.
