A process which would allow him to speak with his wife, Meredith, who died in a tsunami four years ago.

Where previously the pain and dread had stopped him from moving on from his grief, he&#8217;s now forced to face memories and emotions that he&#8217;s avoided since her death. He also rediscovers those other emotions &#8211; love and connection &#8211; both of which he refused to believe he was worthy to

A process which would allow him to speak with his wife, Meredith, who died in a tsunami four years ago.

Where previously the pain and dread had stopped him from moving on from his grief, he&#8217;s now forced to face memories and emotions that he&#8217;s avoided since her death. He also rediscovers those other emotions &#8211; love and connection &#8211; both of which he refused to believe he was worthy to
