Ultimately, the show does provide a model for how to talk about loss. However, depictions reproduce existing cultural hierarchies about what losses matter and how we regard them.
Reactions to loss disclosure were positive, both from other cast members and from recap articles (which we also read and coded). But here too, there was a tendency to flatten loss and treat it as a defining feature of some cast members
But, most depictions were fairly shallow. They showed what it looked like to integrate loss into one’s biography, but rarely showed the path individuals took to get to that integration
