Is Randi moving on realistic?


Losing all three children should destroy you.

Any outcome would be realistic.

Unfortunately in real life many people over the past, say 50 years, have lost young children.

Some find a new purpose and thrive…..some just survive day to day and do the best they can…..some get stuck in the past and never move on…..some completely fall apart….in real life every possible general scenario has played out.

Yes. There have been horrific things that have happened to parents losing multiple children. Some move on, remarry and have more children. Probably a day doesn't go by that they don't forget their other children. In MBTS you see two different paths.

Also, she does not carry the heavy burden of guilt as Lee does. From my acquaintance with similar cases this is a very important factor in dealing with grief.

Said Randi "moving on" it is only partly true, clearly she is tormented every day by the horror memories of the death of her children.
