Saying Goodbye presents 'Rain', a film by Johannes Stjärne Nilsson

‘Rain’ is a short film exploring the lived reality of grief, how loss is carried quietly through ordinary days, invisible to the world, yet ever present for the person holding it. Grief does not always stop the world. Sometimes, it gets dressed, goes to work, answers emails, smiles politely, and keeps going. If this feels familiar, you are not weak...you are carrying something heavy, and you are not alone. Mariposa International are honoured to share this as an official Saying Goodbye film, with the express permission of its creator & director, Johannes Stjärne Nilsson, who has formally granted Mariposa International the rights to use ‘Rain’ as part of its charitable work, recognising its deep alignment with our mission to acknowledge loss & validate grief. Starring Mariposa International Ambassador Sally Phillips, Rain stands as a powerful & compassionate depiction of grief as it truly is, constant, heavy & woven into everyday life. We are grateful to be entrusted with this film and to share it as part of our commitment to truth and understanding in loss. For support, please visit www.sayinggoodbye.org
