How has the media changed peoples’ views of what grief is? Abigail returns to the podcast to chat to Miranda about the effects of film and TV on grief and the way that shapes peoples’ expectations. In this episode, they explore their different grief journeys but also find plenty of common ground. The conversation covers being bereaved as teenagers and navigating school, grieving in private vs public, and overcoming the awkwardness of talking about their person.

Content warning: suicide, illness, and death.
