It’s Okay To Cry, Movie Mavens: Movies About Grief

Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping movies about grief into the ol’ VCR.

There are a lot of reasons to grieve right now.

Truly.

And, like many of you, I’ve had to take some breaks from doomscrolling, but I still want and need to process my feelings.

Additionally, as I’ve shared with all of you, this past holiday season was the hardest one yet since KP passed.

I know we’ve talked about the content that makes me cry, but today I want to focus on another genre: movies about grief.

Whether you’ve lost a loved one or just need an outlet given everything going on in the world, I feel like one or more of these movies will resonate with you.

This is also a reminder that it’s okay to sit in your grief.

It’s okay to cry because, darlin’, there’s a lot to weep for.

But, we’re gonna get through it together.

I’m also going to link some resources below this list.

Without further ado, here are 10 of my favorite movies about grief:

Ghost
Talk to Me
The Farewell
Elizabethtown
P.S. I Love You
The Lovely Bones
Lisa Frankenstein
What Dreams May Come
The Haunted Mansion (2023)
Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close
