grief support group #3 💌 on grief portrayal in coming-of-age shows and how to date people who want commitment

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 being creative while emotional, an aesthetic analysis of the portrayal of grief in Never Have I Ever and The Summer I Turned Pretty, and answer the following advice questions:

★ How to find people who want to commit to me, not just people who want casual flings

★ My sibling is struggling with their mental health and not seeking any help for it. I’m worried about their well-being in the long term. How do I support them but not let it consume me?
