The Grief Gang
And Just Like That...He Died?!
Welcome to this week's episode of The Grief Gang podcast.
This week I'm talking with friend, fellow sister in grief & editor-in-chief at Gal-dem, Suyin Haynes about all things "And Just Like That", the Sex and The City reboot.
Now if you're not a fan and haven't the faintest idea why on earth there is an episode dedicated to SATC, I'll fill you in. Big (aka John) , a huge character in the series, very surprisingly just died at the end of episode 1 of the reboot series, leaving viewers like myself and Suyin SHOOK. So far, the rest of the series has us following Carrie, his wife, through her grief. It has viewers very divided as to whether they have depicted the role of a widow "right". I asked the larger Grief Gang community their thoughts & some think they've got it on the money, some think it's total BS. Regardless, I wanted to speak about it on the show and how grief is perceived on the big screen!
I thoroughly enjoyed this conversation with Suyin and having a care free griefy chat. Thank you for joining me darling. You can find Suyin over on Instagram at @suyinsays
Big love always,
