Rabbit Hole
You're both grieving the same person. You just aren't grieving the same way. That doesn't mean you're losing each other.
Who it's for
Rabbit Hole shows two parents grieving the same child in opposite directions: Becca wants to clear away Danny's things and sell the house, while Howie holds on and keeps going to the support group.
Feelings it meets
What it is
John Cameron Mitchell's 2010 drama, adapted by David Lindsay-Abaire from his own play, follows Becca and Howie Corbett (Nicole Kidman and Aaron Eckhart) eight months after their four-year-old son Danny was killed when he ran into the street after his dog. Their grief pulls them in different directions: Becca wants to remove reminders of Danny and sell the house, while Howie resists.
