They explore how Frieren (series and character) models a different way to grieve, one that centers on curiosity, reflection, gratitude, and celebration. They both share personal anecdotes about grief- Josué celebrating and recontextualizing his perception of his grandfather, and Rae rediscovering and revisiting her ancestors through family genealogy research. They then discuss the role of gratitude in grief-based practices as well as its role in living with intention fully in the moment and having no regrets in life.\n \n[Producer's note: this was recorded during the first heat wave of July 2026 so our brains were a little more cooked than usual.]\nThemes/Topics Discussed:\nDeath\nFeeling alone\nFinding Oneself/Identity Development\nGuilt\nLove\nWorking with others\nGrief\nLoss\nBereavement \nMourning\nDisenfranchised grief \nClosure \nGrief-based practices \nGratitude\nRelatable Experiences:\nAcceptance\nClarity/Understanding\nComing of age/Getting older\nDeath\nLoss (other than death)\nGuilt\nMoving\nSeeking closure with loss\nLiving with intention/mindfully/fully in the moment to live without regrets\nRecontextualizing past experiences\nAnime/Characters Mentioned: \nFrieren: Beyond Journey's End\nOne Piece\nNon-Anime Media Mentioned: \nLord of the Rings (books and movies)\nThe Hobbit (book & movies)\nDungeons & Dragons\n\nContact Us:\nJoin the discussion on the GT Forum at https://forum.geektherapy.org/ and connect with the Geek Therapy Network through the links at https://geektherapy.org/.\nCheck out our other shows on the GT Network: https://network.geektherapy.org/  \nJoin us in the Geek Therapy Discord\nFollow Geek Therapy on Bluesky: @GeekTherapy.bsky.social \n\nConversation Starters: \nWhat stories about grief have been the most impactful in your life?
