How TV, Movies, and Books Shape Our Views on Grief and Grieving

In this episode I dive into the way pop culture influences our understanding of grief. From TV shows and movies to bestselling novels, pop culture often hands us a grief script that’s dramatic, tidy, and wildly unrealistic. (Spoiler: Grief doesn't resolve neatly in 90 minutes with soft violins.)

I break down common media tropes and contrast them with the messy, awkward, and beautiful truth of real-life grieving.

If you’ve cried through a movie funeral or rolled your eyes at another “grief makeover montage,” you’re not alone.
