Buongiorno, Signora Marino.

Your mom's okay as a teacher,
but I would seriously suffocate
if my mom was everywhere I was.
EMMA: "A mourner walked
Among the children"
"I notwithstanding went about
As one bemoaning a dominion"
"Itself the only prince
Cast out"
"Elder, today, a session wiser
And fainter, too"
"As wiseness is"
"I find myself
Still softly searching"
"For my delinquent palaces"
"And a suspicion
Like a finger"
"Touches my forehead
Now and then"
"That I am looking oppositely"
"For the sight
Of the Kingdom of Heaven"
Beautiful.
So, a lot has been written
about the underlying melancholy
of this poem.
What do we think Emily Dickinson
is so sad about?
She lost something.
CLAIRE: Yeah.
What do you think she's
referring to when she says,
"Still softly searching
for my delinquent palaces?"
She's looking for the life
she had.
Yeah. She's looking
for the... the mystery
and the enchantment
of a world that's
no longer available to her.

CLAIRE: Hmm.

Since you say
she was verbal ten years ago,
the best I can surmise
is that the trauma to her brain
simply caused her to forget
she didn't want to speak.

I spoke to Robin this morning,

I told her that my friend

Robin really wants to do it.
No, no, no, no.
She's not ready for that. I...
I don't want her
under that kind of pressure.
No pressure at all!

CLAIRE: I was really moved
by the man
who talked about the hereafter
as very freeing and, um...
peaceful.
Omar.
A year ago, up in Livigno,
he was hiking around Lago Vago
with his grandsons
and found a baby deer stranded
on the frozen lake.
He went out to push it
to the shoreline,
but not before the ice broke.
His grandsons called 1-1-2,
but it was 45 minutes
before rescuers could get there
and break through
to pull out his body.
But paramedics
still performed CPR
while getting him
to the hospital.
And they were able
to bring him back.
How is that even possible?
When someone drowns
in freezing water,
they may appear clinically dead,
but in rare instances
they can be revived
with little
to no neurological defect.
The body attempts
to thwart the cold
and preserve blood flow
to the brain and the heart.
The doctors were able
to slowly warm him
and bring him back once he was
at the hospital. (CHUCKLES)
That's unbelievable.
One of the many fascinating
mysteries of the human body.
(SIGHS)
You mentioned...
your daughter's experience
on the other side was difficult.
Yeah.
I've heard many near death
stories over the years.
And in the less peaceful ones,
what comes up, time and again,
if someone dies with unresolved
issues, the journey becomes...
more challenging.
CLAIRE: And the journey...
What is that? Where do they go?
There's a place beyond this one.
At least according to those
who've been there and back.
Is there anything...
your daughter has been through
that she may have internalized?
It is usually some sort
of emotional trauma
that's been repressed.
A loss.
A trespass. Something...
Something difficult to discuss.
Claire?
Can you tell me...
about this place?
This place they go,
what it's like?
There is no simple answer.
CLAIRE: Is it...
loving and peaceful?
For some.

LUCA: Oh! You're Rose!
Oh, my God! I made a mistake!
(CHUCKLES)
Oh, this is for Robin!
(ROSE GIGGLES)
LUCA: Robins for Robin!
And roses for Rose!
ROBIN: Papa!
CLAIRE: They were in vitro.
Seven years of miscarriages
and false starts.
We lost all our savings and...
ended up moving back
to Luca's...
childhood home to take care
of his father here in Italy.
Luca didn't want to...
keep trying to get pregnant,
but I did, I needed it, I...
I needed those girls,
I needed that.
Our marriage needed it.
I really hoped that...
you know, that would fix
all the problems.
But where are you going
in the middle of the night
with the girls?
(DRAMATIC MUSICAL STING)
They were five when it happened.
The girls.
And Robin's twin?
Rose.
She died.
The doctors all said Robin...
was dealing with the trauma
of losing her twin
in her way, you know.
So, talking,
or not talking, is...
a way to control something.
So we moved to the city,
we moved to Rome.
We buried everything
about our life.
Robin found her voice
through the piano.
I found...
nothing, really.
Everybody kept saying,
"You have to move on," but...
I don't know how to do that.
How do you do that?
And...
And so I just started
to fake it.
Because it just makes it
more comfortable for everybody.
You have to make it
more comfortable,
so people don't feel awkward
over c*ck.
So, that's what I do. I fake it.
And we never speak of Rose.
Ever.
Ever.

...what she could
See, see, see...
But all that she could
See, see, see...
Was the bottom
Of the deep blue sea, sea, sea

we gotta get you out of here!
Please, stop!
Rosie! Rosie! Rosie!

Oh, my God!
Rosie! Come on!

(SOFTLY) I couldn't save her.
(SOBS)
I'm so sorry.
(SOFT MUSIC PLAYING)
I've never told Luca.
I told him I...
I couldn't remember the details.
But of course
I remember everything.
It's with me all the time.
The last words I said...
to my daughter...
