Jungian Ever After | Orpheus – Archetypal Grief and Failure to Grieve
About this episode
This episode explores the grief elements of the Orpheus story and the importance of allowing oneself to grieve.
While our last episode discussed Orpheus through the lens of archetypal creativity, this episode focuses on the grief elements of the story as depicted in Ovid’s version of the story. We share our own grief stories and explore the hazards experienced when people do not allow themselves to grieve. This episode we will be reading from: Metamorphoses – by Ovid Parables and Portraits – by Stephen Mitchell Orpheus. Euridice. Hermes. – by Rainer Maria Rilke You can listen to El Maleh Rachamim prayer on My Jewish Learning  here . This prayer asks God to grant rest to departed souls and is often recited at funerals.
