In episode 2, we join Terry and Noeleen on their almost daily visit to see their son in the care facility where he lives.
The Delany family has spent years making a home for him there, but the photos on the wall provide a haunting reminder of what he has missed for 17 years.
They tackle the almost unimaginable subject of ending his life if that was an option.
