“What is grief, if not love persevering?” – The Vision, Wandavision

Wandavision is a series set in the Marvel cinematic Universe, about a woman with extraordinary powers and abilities, cope with the grief of losing someone she loved. The show explores how we try to comprehend that loss as we try to carry on in the wake of it’s impact. I really liked how the quote above framed grief in this comtext, formed through the tenacity of love.

 

Strip away the magic and superheroes and we are felt with an exploration into a very human experience. Grief doesn’t just affect the bereaved, but we can mourn the loss of opportunity, dreams, ideologies, community, bodily function, even distance and connectivity.

 

If you’re struggling with grief, therapy can help you manage that experience and find a place of healing and growth.
