But when Sarah lost a baby that they had been trying for many years, it almost split them apart for good. However, a good therapist and a very supportive husband gave Sarah the strength and will to go on. As part of her recovery the therapist suggested they get away to their vacation cabin in the mountains to try and help Sarah remember how good life had been prior to the tragedy.
