The documentary delves into the intricacies of grief, love, and loss, providing an empathetic glimpse into the lives of those left behind.

I'm kinda weird about these documentary bedrooms... I know it sounds morbid, but hear me out. Some people might find it a bit too 'sappy' or even disturbing to be walking into someone's bedroom after they've passed away. But at the same time, I think it's actually pretty brave of the families and the doc to be sharing these spaces with the world. It's not always easy to confront your emotions, but in this case, it might just help others who've gone through similar trauma.
These rooms are just empty spaces holding memories, what's the point of keeping them as museums? And don't even get me started on how invasive this documentary is - I mean, do you really need to go into someone's bedroom and start reminiscing about their kid who died? 
It's just too much for my taste.
it's like you can feel the weight of those empty rooms and the pain that still lingers all these years later. I mean, think about it, these spaces were meant to be a sanctuary for kids to grow up and have their own space, but now they're just reminders of what could've been 
. It's heartbreaking how families are left to pick up the pieces and try to make sense of it all. The way the doc humanizes the victims by bringing their stories to life is truly remarkable 
. And I love how it raises questions about whether these spaces serve as a comfort or just another source of pain 
its kinda messed up that these bedrooms are still intact after all this time... feel bad for the victims and their fams, but dont get why they left them untouched
