A father, mother, and daughter have been trapped in a grief cycle for a decade due to the death of their son and brother in Gulf war. The mother mildly blames the father for letting their son join the army, and daughter has unresolved feelings of inferiority and self-doubt, and is diagnosed with potential breast cancer. The father has detached from his family and friends for many years and has become distant and lives in the past.
All of these feelings are misplaced, but too powerful to overcome, so a supernatural visitor arrives to help them move forward and reconnect with Christmas, God, love, and hope...
This is a very tender and moving story, deeply sorrowful, and riddled with grief and pain. I recommend it for those who need guidance with the process of losing a loved one. It may help, it may not, but maybe give it a shot.
