I think you would like to respect his decision. But I'm not sure you really do, because there's a part of you that thinks differently. You have to be able to be at peace with his conscience. And at the end of his life, know that he did. He was like a plant. My dream was two boys, two girls. We need two girls. When you say I respect his decision, do you think he feels that? Does he feel that I respect? Oof How deep. Please.
In this deeply intimate collaboration with beloved therapist Esther Perel, she dives deep in a couples therapy session with a Ukrainian couple torn apart by the war.
The wife is compelled to leave the country for the sake of her youngest son; the husband and older son are compelled to stay in the warzone for the sake of their country.
Miraculously, even amid unthinkable loss – and maybe especially amid unthinkable loss – love and connection are unrelenting.
Love does impossible things.
