**Bonus Episode** Mission Monday reflection on Grief
I recently finished watching the series Wandavision on Disney+. Like so many that searched for answers and glues to help figure out the point of the show, I raced to the Easter egg videos to figure out what was going on in Wanda's world. Who was manipulating Wanda? How is Vision alive? Whose Ralph? Some speculated there was a bigger plot at work that connects to other Marvel characters. I have to say, I've never done a deep dive on a series like this one. So, what made this Marvel series stand out over the other Marvel projects.
I would argue that Wandavision had more to offer than your usual super hero series or movie. It's messy and chaotic in its exploration of Wanda's struggle with grief. Throughout the show we see how Wanda begins to lose her grip on the reality she created around her grief. I really think this show is timely, since all of us have had some sense of loss in the last 12 months. We've done our best to cope, endure, and survive the constant waves of frustration, loss, anger, and depression. When the time comes, we also have to put our walls down and face our own grief.
Thank you again to Fr. Ivan and the good people of Annunciation for inviting to be a part of their Mission Monday's during this season of Lent.
