I'll let the story's original synopsis speak for itself, mostly. I don't think MB principles are being used here (there isn't talk of any principles, MB or otherwise). It is an interesting examination of how memory plays a role in reconciliation. What if you woke up one morning without the memory of the most painful years of your life, but they gradually started to come back?

Anyway, I commend it to your attention. I ended listening to this story rooting for this couple. The story is Act Two of the podcast. The rest of it is pretty interesting too (Molly Ringwald watches Breakfast Club with her 10 year old daughter).

"Producer Miki Meek spent a week with a family in the midst of a difficult situation. A woman who got in a car accident and then was in a coma for 52 days, woke up having forgotten the last two years of her life � during which she'd divorced her husband. Once her family members reminded her that she was divorced, all she wanted was to get back together with her ex-husband, even though he, their kids, and everyone else in the family, weren't sure it was a good idea. They want to tell her who she was before the accident, and all the reasons why she divorced her husband in the first place, but she also has to figure out for herself who she is now. (14 minutes)"
