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:DeathFeeling aloneFinding Oneself/Identity DevelopmentGuiltLoveWorking with othersGriefLossBereavement MourningDisenfranchised grief Closure Grief-based practices GratitudeRelatable Experiences:AcceptanceClarity/UnderstandingComing of age/Getting olderDeathLoss (other than death)GuiltMovingSeeking closure with lossLiving with intention/mindfully/fully in the moment to live without regretsRecontextualizing past experiencesAnime/Characters Mentioned: Frieren: Beyond Journey's EndOne PieceNon-Anime Media Mentioned: Lord of the Rings (books and movies)The Hobbit (book & movies)Dungeons & Dragons\nContact Us:Join 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/.Check out our other shows on the GT Network: https://network.geektherapy.org/  Join us in the Geek Therapy DiscordFollow Geek Therapy on Bluesky: @GeekTherapy.bsky.social \nConversation Starters: \nWhat stories about grief have been the most impactful in your life?
