I watched a movie the other night that I thought was a comedy. One of the characters falls in love with a man 20 years younger than her. 
It is just a week before their wedding. He leaves the house at night and starts to walk down a one-lane country road. He is struck by a truck and then taken to the hospital. They are unsuccessful at resuscitating him. 
In the film, the actor playing the dying lover is suited up with the same medical supports as Brendan was. The next scene is his wife-to-be sitting to the left of his body. She is holding his hand, unable to move, unable to say goodbye. 
Of course, this is when I lost it because my experience was so similar. 
This is the song that played during the scenes. 
A few months later she is filmed sitting with her friends and she says, "Sometimes it seems like he was never here, and sometimes it feels like he never left."
