grief support group #2 💌 on Desperate Housewives, communicating with your partner, and grieving during the holidays

listen to this week's grief support group on KSFS radio

Welcome to the 💌💗GRIEF SUPPORT GROUP🪩🍒‼️. This is my radio show on KSFS Radio at San Francisco State where I talk all things pop culture, my research on grief and media, and answer your advice questions.

This week I discuss seeing images in your mind (which I can’t btw), discuss the latest on my thesis exploring grief in teen television fandoms, talk Desperate Housewives and how it portrays death, and answer the following advice questions:

★ How do I get my partner to communicate with me better? He lied to me about moving out and told me three days after because he thought I would be mad. I’m unsure why he’d think that as I told him I would’ve celebrated this moment which we did after the fact but I am still sad he didn’t feel like he could open up to me.

★ Do you have any advice on how you can support a partner or family member who is struggling with what feels like extra grief during the holiday season?
