Episode 14: What The Media Gets Wrong About Grief
from Early Mourning Coffee Club · host Meg
We learn what grief "should" look like long before we ever experience it. Through films, TV, music and even adverts.But when grief arrives... it doesn't follow a script.In this episode I talk about the gap between how grief is portrayed in the media and what it actually feels like to live it. It's messy, quiet, repetitive, and very real.From cinematic storylines to supermarket breakdowns, this one is about unlearning the polished version of grief and making space for truth.I also mention the website 'Does The Dog Die' which is a resource that helps you check for difficult or triggering content in films and shows before you watch:https://www.doesthedogdie.com/If your grief doesn't look like that movies, you're not doing it wrong. You're just living the version no one writes scripts for.☕️🖤
