Poema S9 016 | The Grief of Obi Wan Kenobi & Anakin Skywalker with Douglas Humphreys

This week my friend Douglas Humphreys returns to the show, and we discuss the show 'Obi Wan Kenobi', and the dynamic of the relationship between him and Anakin Skywalker (AKA Darth Vader) in the context of their respective journeys of grief and trauma.

We discuss their experiences of grief, including in their own relationship, and the circumstances which contributed to the stories and outcomes of their lives.

We talk about how unresolved grief and anger can consume and control us, and harm both ourselves and others - and how this story shows the contrast between this and healthy ways of processing grief, and how it transforms us.
