This is definitely worth watching. Grab a box of tissue for you and your significant other. Overall, I cannot say it is a great movie because of the subject matter, but I give it 10 stars, not because I love it, but because I think everyone should watch it just once. I am really glad this movie was made, and even more glad that I watched it. This was a movie that my husband did not want to watch because he didn't really want to re-live our past through a movie. But he watched it with me reluctantly, and had very similar reactions to me. There were some parts of the movie that were dramatized (such as the affair Aaron had) which I felt was unnecessary. It risks telling people that a mistake done under duress is somehow more forgivable than under other circumstances. I know many people who have suffered losses and have not cheated on their significant other. Yes, it can put a strain on a relationship, but there is no excuse to have an affair. The other thing that bothered me was the conversation between Maggie and her mom in the movie about miscarriages, though I appreciate that her mom addressed it well. No, a miscarriage is not the same as a stillbirth; however the loss is no less painful or devastating. I think the dramatization of the story took away from the heart of the issue at hand, but I understand in order to have Lifetime pick it up it needed to have some plot twists. More movies like this need to be made to create awareness around this taboo subject. There are thousands of other stories out there. THANK you to Sean and Kiley Hanish for having the courage to share the story of their beautiful son, Norbert.
