In relationships, not many of us find closure. For A Second Embrace, I remember when I first spoke to Nairoby and she told me how she wanted to tell a story about a couple who connected again after separating when it was neither of their faults. We often don't get to see that the couple who loses their child are still people who need to figure out how to move on and where they are 5 years later.
