What I liked

I loved the characters and their unique personalities, especially Jenny, with her infectiously charming humor and her invisible husband. Marianne transitioned from one character to the next, taking us on a very personal roller coaster ride of emotion. The hour flew by. I wasn’t ready for the show to be over.

What I didn't like

Most of the transitions were clear, but just a couple took me a minute to realize or adjust to.

My overall impression

The show was an emotional gem, filled with tender, honest, raw characters, exquisitely portrayed by Marianne Simon. She covered a vast array of experiences related to grief and the healing process that follows the death of a spouse. Touching and beautiful.
