Uniquely Irreplaceable: Grief, Resilience, and Why the World Needs You in It

Caring Connections: A Hope and Comfort in Grief Program of the University of Utah College of Nursing will hold its annual Seeds of Remembrance event on Tuesday, May 12, 2026, from 7:00-9:00 p.m. This year’s program will be held at the University of Utah College of Social Work (395 South 1500 East Salt Lake City UT 84112), in the Goodwill Humanitarian Building - Okazaki Community Room. The event will also stream on Zoom for those who are unable to join in person. This event is free and open to the public. Seeds of Remembrance is an opportunity for individuals to come together and cope with the loss of a family member or friend while honoring the memory of the person who died.  The program’s theme is “Uniquely Irreplaceable: Grief, Resilience, and Why the World Needs You in It.” Some losses change everything. They reshape how we see the world, how we show up for others, and how we understand our own worth. This year’s featured speaker, George Deussen, reflects on ten years of grief, healing, and hard-won perspective following the loss of his son, Stockton Powers. With honesty and heart, he explores what it means to be a man navigating grief in a world that doesn't always make space for it — and why your life, your uniqueness, and your presence matter more than you know. Light never dies. Neither does yours. The program will also feature musical performances by Paul Jacobsen. For more information, call 801-585-9522 or email caringconnections@utah.edu.
