“Society doesn’t know how to handle grief. It wants you to move on quickly.'
The new Netflix NFLX, -1.35% dramedy “Dead to Me” follows Jen , a widow from Laguna Beach, who is grappling with grief after her husband is killed in a hit-and-run. She finds herself at a retreat in Palm Springs with her support group sipping margaritas poolside, hitting on a fellow widower during a counseling session and letting loose at a karaoke session.
“It’s not like there’s a packet, ‘Lost a parent? Here’s how you grieve,’ someone gives you,” Reichblum tells MarketWatch. ‘It’s not like there’s a packet, ‘Lost a parent? Here’s how you grieve.’’ —Rachel Reichblum, 29, lost both of her parents within 14 months of each other She went to grief retreat last year hosted by Soffer of “Modern Loss” and author Emily Rapp Black at The Kripalu Center For Yoga & Health, a nonprofit in the Berkshires in Massachusetts. The three-day package featured a combination of physical and mental exercises like “writing prompts,” hiking and yoga.
The experience motivated Reichblum to start a social conversation around grief. She created the Instagram page @ThatGoodGrief as a healing tool to post photos of her parents, inspirational quotes like, “Do what you can when you can ,” and things she wishes she told her mom and dad before they passed away.
Fernandez wanted a more social way of dealing with loss, asking herself, ‘How do we stop the isolation that comes with grieving?’ “We talk about going back to work after a loss, or how a career changes; changing relationships, dating — dating always comes up. ‘What do I do when I’m on a date and someone asks? Do I talk about them in the past tense?’” Fernandez says of the dinner topics.
