Building the Net Before We Fall

Who catches us when we fall? Drawing from her experiences with caregiving, grief, and the community that surrounded her partner at the end of her life, Kelli Dunham explores how we build the networks that carry us through illness, loss, and other
moments when we simply can’t do it alone. Because community isn’t something we create in an emergency. We build the net long before we need it — one relationship, one small act of care, and one moment of showing up at a time.
 

Kelli Dunham is creator of Second Helping – a show, a workshop, a movement. She is an RN, ex-nun, and a nonbinary comedian/storyteller who has performed with The Moth Mainstage and on Showtime. Her latest show, Second Helping, is a deeply human and just funny enough look at grief, caregiving, and her partner’s decision to use medical aid in dying.
