Vedova Italiana
When Brie met Marcos she never knew she could love anything more until she had her twins. Life had been perfect and they'd begun a routine. Just when they were all grooving, life threw a curve ball no one could've predicted, or so they thought. And then one day her heart died, her world shattered. Death translates as, the ending of all vital functions or processes in an organism or cell. Put simply, when your heart stops beating, when your brain no longer functions. But sometimes it doesn't mean literally, sometimes as much as we wish it was literal, it just feels as if you are walking around in a shell of your former self. But as with life we must continue to live, if not for ones self for ones children. Strength comes and goes but Brie continues to live and she lives her life to the fullest.
