The death of my seven-year-old brother when I was nine remains a painful and haunting memory. My parents did not know how to cope with the loss of their child and the entire family experienced indescribable pain. PHANTOM LIMB uses this personal story as a point of departure. Whether it is a loss through death or divorce, the stages of grieving are the same. Individuals often go through denial, anger, bargaining, depression and, ultimately, some kind of acceptance, in order to heal. The film is loosely structured according to these stages. Interspersed throughout this poetic documentary are interviews with a cemetery owner, a phantom limb patient and an author of a book about evidence for life after death. PHANTOM LIMB reminds viewers that while grief is painful and isolating, it is a reminder to each of us that life is impermanent.

Phantom Limb is a 2007 documentary with a runtime of 27 minutes. It has received mostly positive reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 7.7.
