Episode 32: We Can See Thestrals Now

56m · Beyond the Veil · 27 Jan 22:56

Throughout the Potter series, Harry loses his parents, Cedric, Sirius, Dumbledore, and many more loved ones. Grief is hard enough, but it’s made even more difficult when we lose more loved ones before we’ve truly been able to process other prior losses. In this episode, Erica shares the story of how grief affected her mental health and how Harry Potter was able to help her cope.

Trigger Warning: Death of a loved one, suicide

On Episode 32, we discuss...

→ Death, depression, and turning off your emotions

→ The difficulty of losing multiple people close to one another

→ Being able to see thestrals

→ The role of anger in grieving

→ Learning from Harry's unrelenting grief

→ The importance of community

→ Escaping with Potter

→ Learning to express what you need during grief
