There is something powerful about this guy remembering the good times he had with his wife. It is moving to see him try to find out what happened, as a kind of way of reconnecting with her because they were separated just before she died.

This seems like a beautiful story.

Yeah, this is hard. I understand. So, going on vacations would be really great, and you don’t know if it is possible right now. If this was not possible, what else could you do that would also help you connect with your wife?
