"I literally cannot imagine another month coming. It's just like a deep wound and it's getting worse and deeper," says the mother of two children separated by war in Ukraine. "My man of my life is not besides me and I was feeling lonely and I need just to be loved, I want to hear compliments", she adds. 'For me, it's like treasure, this beautiful woman,' writes her husband as they try to maintain their connection after 22 years together.
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.
