I had the honour of chatting with Jess Sofarnos, a new friend and a true mirror of my experience through grieving. We met in a familiar setting, under very unfamiliar circumstances. Both our Mums had just unexcepectly passed, and we met at a party in the Summer, both trying to articulate the indescribable emotions that grief presented us with. The memory is similar to a mirage, much like the emotional roller coaster that is present in the early stages of grieving. A beautiful moment, to share, which led to my eagerness to hold space for her story on the podcast.
Jess is an actor, film maker, all-round beautiful human, and creative powerhouse. I am so glad we had the chance to discuss, her new short film "Good Grief", navigating the grief journey while pursuing creative pursuits and what her life looks like now, almost three years since her Mother's passing.
I couldn't recommend her new short film "Good Grief" enough, it is an immaculate representation of the inner compass of one that is grieving and how it can jolt you out of the reality that you once knew, catapulting you into a whole new world that you have never seen before. From the overwhelm, and the confusing spectrum of emotion that is felt, to finding solace in strangers, this short is worthy of its own ten-season, series.
