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 2
7Description
Religion and identity are on the table today. In part two of this two-part episode, we continue our conversation with Play Steinberg, a Deaf Studies graduate, scribe, and creator of the web series Father.Mother.God. After losing both of their parents to suicide, Play went on a complicated grief journey—one colored by addiction and heartbreak. Currently, Play is publishing a webcomic, Father.Mother.God, exploring their childhood, grief, and healing process through a retrospective lens.
Play sits down with Ashley to discuss their journey with identity, religion, and sobriety in the aftermath of life-shattering news. Play shares how religion has been deeply intertwined with their identity, leading to an eventual conversion to Judaism. They talk about their journey with queerness and the significance of their chosen name. Together, Play and Ashley foster an exploratory conversation that examines different facets of life through a lens of growth and self-reverence.
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 surrounding 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.
