Giving Narration

Jim and Sai reflect on their recent experiences and share personal insights as they explore the complex relationship between grief and depression, and how both shape their understanding of life and death.

Jim and Sai talk about how they begin life rooted in family, as sons and a daughters, brothers and sisters.

In those early years, belonging feels certain, defined by the people around them and the roles they naturally step into.

But over time, those roles shift, and the people who once defined that sense of belonging are no longer around.

What remains is the question of what it means to belong when those connections change, and how they continue to carry that sense of responsibility, care, and identity forward.

Sai and Jim sits down to discuss what grief means to each of them. They share their personal perspectives and experiences, exploring how grief is carried and how it can be seen and understood in different ways.

Sai and Jim shares Why Love is important to the both of them.  Through the making of Why Love, they find that their love is more complex than simple.
