Screen Cares hosts, Sarah & Jennie invite listeners to join them for an emotional conversation about how love can fuel both grief and healing. Jennie uses the movie Hunt for the Wilderpeople (2016) to process the loss of her sixteen-year-old dog, Epona. We discover that there's room for laughter even during the saddest of times, and that movies can make room for conversations that help us find a place for love to go once our loved ones are gone.

Screen Shares Rating: Family Screen
Screen Sparks:

  • Like the aunt in Hunt for the Wilderpeople, have you ever loved someone or something that no one else understood/loved?

  • Does thinking about death give value to life?
  • How can we support those we love who are grieving? 
  • If you have lost someone important to you, how would you want to be supported?
