GriefWatch (2)

Like many others, the pandemic made me a fan of a few odd things… like glass blowing. Not actually doing it myself, of course- but the armchair kind. I’ve binged all the possible episodes of Blown Away on Netflix (completing season three earlier this week), and the themes of death, grief, and fear of death are prevalent throughout. 

If you’re uncomfortable with grief, I’d recommend watching season three, if only to bear witness to the pain of others. Sit with how uneasy it makes you feel and think about the why. Notice the reactions of others and try to assess how those reactions land with those who are sharing their grief. And enjoy the gorgeous works of art that these individuals are choosing to make in the midst of their pain.
