D+D Series: Scribe of Their Own Life - Processing Suicide, Grief, Addiction and Divorce through Religion, Self Care and Finding their Gender Identity with Play Steinberg, Part 1
11Description
On the table today, we are processing grief through creativity and learning. In part one of this two-part episode, we are joined by Play Steinberg, a Deaf Studies graduate, scribe, and creator of the web series Father.Mother.God.
In their conversation with Ashley, Play dives into their journey to becoming a scribe, their experience earning a master’s degree in Deaf Studies, and how the loss of both parents to suicide informed their deeply personal webcomic series. Play shares their experience navigating life in the aftermath of intense and complicated loss, candidly exploring with Ashley their ongoing process toward acceptance. Together, they foster a vulnerable conversation that unravels and examines the nuances of loss, guilt, religion, communication, and healing.
Grief often stifles us. With this episode, and the Death + Dying series as a whole, we aim to foster open dialogue about the often uncomfortable topics around death and grief. Our hope is that with an open heart and curiosity we can support important causes, learn how to better show up for those who are suffering, increase meaning and connection in our lives, and ultimately find more peace.
