Meet Me Where I Am

Meet Me Where I Am is about the universal experience of grief - how grief is experienced within our culture, what grievers actually go through, and what we can better do to help them. Meet Me Where I Am endeavors to challenge well-intentioned but misguided cultural attitudes and behaviors of the grieving process and offers hope to those experiencing it. Grief is normal and we all experience it, yet we do not have a common language and culture to support those who are grieving.The rare opportunity Meet Me Where I Am provides is that the experts in the field are also able to share personal perspective as grievers themselves. The film breaks down what the stages of grief really entail, defines what it means to “be there” for someone, and offers viewers hope to transform and create meaning through loss.Meet Me Where I Am features some of the world’s most renowned grief experts, as well as artists, cultural figures, and everyday individuals to tackle this complex subject. The film features Anthony Rapp (Tony Award Winning "Best Musical" RENT, Star Trek: Discovery, Without You - New World Stages Hell’s Kitchen), acclaimed author and grief expert, David Kessler (author, Finding Meaning, ABC’s Good Morning America contributor), Ron Marasco Ph.D. (author, About Grief: Insights, Setbacks, Grace Notes, Taboos), Donna Schurmaan Ph.D. (Sr. Director of Advocacy & Training at The Dougy Center) and actor, brother of the late great comedian Chris Farley, John Farley, among others, to comprise a diverse roster of professionals who inspire us, through personal stories as well as researched-based insights, to move forward with our grief.
