live with pain

In an ordinary and normal life, the two of them reluctantly lived with a smile, but their hearts were actually broken. After having a son, watching such a film will be even more unbearable. I can't imagine what will happen to us, what will happen to me without the child. Seeing Becca and Howie alive in pain and positivity is depressing every minute.
There aren't many shots of the child, except for one when Howie is watching a video. But the shadow of his existence is everywhere, and the house is full of good memories of a family of three. Becca is a professional housewife, staying in the house every day, surrounded by all kinds of memories all the time. She became very depressed, and her mood was a little abnormal. Howie has a job to escape, but comes back every night watching her son's video on her phone.
Howie is a good husband, he loves his wife, he can afford their beautiful big house, and he chose to leave Gaby's house at the last critical moment. Becca is a good wife, she loves her husband, cooks good food and keeps the house clean and tidy. They deserve a fresh start. Becca's mom said it well. The loss of a child is something you can never get rid of, and it fills your life in the first place, blinding you to anything else. Slowly, over time, this burden gradually becomes bearable, and it becomes a brick that can be carried in your pocket. After that, you can forget it from time to time, but you will always remember the pain it brings.
I have seen such a plot in a domestic TV series before. The child is lost, the husband and wife have been unable to get out for many years, and the two cannot face the guilt in their hearts and the blame for each other, so they can only choose to separate. This should be the end of most of these cases. But people always hope to have a good side, a sunny side, there must always be something that can hold hope and persist in living. So I think they end up having a fresh start, having a baby, and when the baby is a little bit older, tell him that he has a little brother, but he's gone after an accident. Face the pain and joy that life brings with equanimity.
