"Your mind is creating a reality that you can live in." "Your wife died in childbirth, Tom." "She hemorrhaged." "They attempted a c-section..." "Deep breaths and push." "And it failed." "But the more you look at the cold, hard facts for what they are, the more you can achieve closure..." "Honey, honey, honey!" "Real closure." "This is bullshit!" "My wife didn't die in labor."
