S1, EP3 :When a loved one passes with Eric Kaplan
Description
In the third episode of 'It Belongs To The People', we received the screenwriter and producer for Warner Bros, Eric Kaplan. After a very serendipitous encounter via an Instagram story, we both realised how we lived almost the same aforementioned event in the same time span and how our experiences entangled one another during our conversation and created a thread much needed for when in times of sorrow - the thread of sharing for internal healing. When one of my biggest companions since childhood passed last April, I kept myself and what I was feeling at that time in the echo chamber of my head. Honey and I lived together for 18 bloody years, so you can wonder how difficult, to say the least, it was to endure this occurrence amidst a pandemic.
Having difficulty to share my feelings with people had always been a tremendous issue in my life - every Scorpio will relate - so when my little friend passed, the guilty of being distressed about it whilst people were dealing with far more painful events 'round the world, just intensified the avoidance of letting myself be vulnerable to my own emotions and also trust people of which I could procure in times of need, whether it was my friends or family.
After weeks of brooding and self-berating, I finally came to the realisation of how such a very intimate death, such as of Honey's, made me ever more alive. I understood that death is not an enemy, a never-ending sorrow, but actually, the pain we feel is the utmost reaffirmation of everything that constituted the love you felt for the one who once lived, and acceptance of what you cannot change does belittle in any form what you will always feel for that loved one.
