Rabbit Hole 
Part 2: Application to Loss of a Child 

	Directions: Choose three questions, answer, and print out your out answers and bring to the next Face-to-Face meeting.
1.	How convincing is the film in its responses to grief?  List 2 examples to support your answer.

2.	What specifically were Becca’s and Howie’s grief responses?  Provide at least 2 examples of each.

3.	Provide at least one grief theory model and discuss how this theory-model applies to the grief responses of both Becca and Howie.

Becca’s mother Nat (Dianne Wiest) states:
 ‘It changes though . . . The weight of it, I guess. At some point it becomes bearable. It turns into something you can crawl out from under, and carry around - like a brick in your pocket. And you, you even forget it - for a while - but then you reach in for whatever reason and - there it is . . . it’s what you’ve got instead of your son.’
4.	Relate this statement to a grief theory discussed in class.  Provide at least two examples from the film that support your position.  Explain what you mean.
