Going Through Grief
There is an excellent line of dialogue in Fleabag where she is grief-stricken over her mother’s death, and she has the following exchange with her best friend:
Fleabag: “I don’t know what to do with it.”
Boo: “With what?”
Fleabag: “With all the love I have for her. I don’t know where to put it now.”
Boo: “I’ll take it. No, I am serious. It sounds lovely. I’ll have it.”
I think this highlights both what grief feels like and a great way to deal with it. Pouring that love we have for someone we lost into those we care about that we still have is a way to make sure that person lives on forever.
