Hi everyone. I haven’t posted here before, but my girlfriend and myself are both long-time lovers of movies and so is her dad. We’ve been spending a lot of time at her dad’s place since her mother’s unexpected passing a week ago and it seems so many movies include sudden death, especially that of women or mothers.

I’m coming to this subreddit because I assume you all would know the best recs for movies that won’t make this week of adjustment and shock any harder than it has to be. I know movies can help some process, but I want to have some good suggestions under my sleeve if she or her dad want a chill comfort movie.

Triggers would be maternal or spousal death, phone calls about deaths, imagery of corpses or dying, and grief in general right now. Thank you everybody.

Just wanted to post a PSA for trans/queer/gay folks in this city that your safety matters and to stay aware of your surroundings always. I was run up behind and shoved to the ground by a stranger while 3 of his friends cheered him on tonight at the Sunoco in Old North. He then hurled transphobic insults at me and threatened to harm me even more. Luckily a friend of mine was nearby and got me home safe once we met back up, but I feel the need to say that this could’ve happened to anyone, so please be safe. It happened RIGHT next to a queer bar. Carry pepper spray. If you’re alone, have someone ready on speed dial. I just couldn’t say nothing. I was excited for a night out and ended up at home with a bloody elbow.
