This study examines the work of mourning through storytelling in Sarah Ruhl's Dead Man's Cell Phone (2007). Ruhl’s play delineates the essential character of mourning as something that everyone deserves whoever they are. Jean happens to witness the untimely death of a stranger in a cafe, answers the dead man’s cell phone, and goes on to mourn for him. The deceased person, Gordon, was a capitalist businessman illegally trading human organs. Deviating from the traditional Freudian mourning that prioritizes effective object change and libidinal reinvestment, Jean performs the work of mourning by telling stories of her own fabulation the surviving members of the dead man’s family. By strorytelling, as a means of mourning in this play, those who share the stories find themselves participating in the work of mourning. Jean’s stories let them confront their loss in the face of Gordon’s death and conjure up alternative meanings in their relationships. Through this journey to remembering and sharing stories together, they recover fragmented relationships and respond with ethical responsibility toward the others, fostering hospitality and reciprocal recognition.
