I don't know her, but I wonder if Taren S-K is going to define the rest of her life w.r.t. being Aaron's "widow". That can't be healthy, either.


It hasn't been two months yet. Many cultures settled on one year as the reasonable mourning time, after which people are expected to get on with their life. Some people need less, some people need more.

Your comment might be warranted in five to ten years if she does indeed define herself that way.


No it wont.

After a decade, it will be a far fainter association, current trajectories of life being held equal. Beyond that...say after 3 decades? There will be a new generation of whipper snappers saying all sorts of stuff that barely intersect with today's actors. (They will intersect with the issues and choices we make today)

She will not be defined by it unless she chooses to pursue that path.


I was thinking this too. More so along the lines that she will learn to master karate and katana sword skills over the next 10 years, and exact her vengeance upon the US Prosecutors office.
