A Fan's Grief: Coping with Deaths, Cancellations, and Endings

What:
Discussion
When:
1:00 PM, Saturday 30 Jul 2016 (50 minutes)
Where:
Orange County Convention Center - N310 F/G
When a great show is cancelled, your favorite character dies, or we lose a venerated performer, fans can be overcome with grief. Our friends and family may ask “How can you be so sad over something that isn’t real?” or “Why are you acting like you lost a family member when you didn’t know this person?” Join us for a brief discussion of parasocial interaction, ways to cope with these kinds of grief, and stories of the losses that have touched us.
