How do the decisions we make impact us? How do our parents shape who we are? How does grief and mental health interact? This week, we discuss mother-son, family and friendship relationships, how parents influence their children, the portrayal of mothers and women in film and the interplay of grief and life, pet losses, and, of course, how grief manifests in our daily lives.
