As the years pass, the family will face the difficult task of explaining this tragedy to the children. They will have to navigate the complex waters of “survivor’s guilt” that can sometimes haunt children born under such circumstances. But they will also have the opportunity to frame the story not as a tragedy of death, but as a legend of life. They will tell the triplets that they were loved so much that their mother braved the impossible to ensure they arrived safely. They will be told that while they don’t have her arms to hold them, they have her DNA to guide them, and her story to inspire them.
