She holds regular vigils in his undisturbed bedroom, visits his grave, and meets with a support group for parents who lost their children to accidents, though her husband, Jim, wants to move on. Returning from work one afternoon, Telly finds Sam's room completely empty of his things and redecorated with new furniture.
