How do we honor and remember those we have lost?

Licensed therapist Jonathan Decker and filmmaker Alan Seawright are reacting to Studio Ghibli’s newest film, The Boy and the Heron. They talk about Mahito’s grief and journey to acceptance. Jonathan shares his own experience grieving the death of his mother as well as looking back on life without regret. Alan shares his perspective on regret and his thoughts on Ghibli animation techniques. And they acknowledge Hayao Miyazaki being a master at work, even if they don’t fully understand the work. It’s kind of trippy!
