FOUR MOTHERS

FOUR MOTHERS share the story of four Gold Star Mothers, who discuss how to continue living after the war. Listening to the quartet describe their grief is helpful in a very practical way. They offer guidelines for dealing with loss and how to approach others who might be struggling with grief. Although specific to the circumstances of the Gold Star families, who lost their beloved ones in the American wars, it’s a useful manual for all of us, as we will all encounter loss, both our own and others. This film focuses on the female contribution to the community of wartime bereaved and generates renewed discussion of the human price of conflict.
