"The Mourning After," explores loss and the ways I turned to my journal to unravel memory, emotion, and the delicate language of grief after losing a close cousin. One of the most challenging moments I've faced was having to mourn my cousin away from family and friends. Dealing with loss while living abroad can be difficult. Especially when it means missing meaningful and intimate moments. In facing grief, I turned to writing to cope, remember, and make sense of loss. This short film was the outcome of that process, and the way I chose to honor my cousin. For anyone dealing with loss: Although grief isn’t linear, may you still seek joy and turn your pain into power.
