Ruby’s six-year-old daughter, Cindy, mentions her grandmother’s mysterious “friend” named William. Ruby is shocked to learn that the name belongs to her late father. Concerned, she reflects on her mother’s transformation since her father’s passing. Once a vibrant and artistic woman, Ruby’s mom became quieter and more withdrawn after the funeral. Now, she spends more time with Cindy, but Cindy’s growing discomfort and tears after visits raise questions.
While baking together, Ruby gently asks Cindy why she cries after seeing her grandmother. Cindy hesitates before admitting it’s because of Grandma’s “friend” William. She describes how her grandmother always insists on offering food to him first, despite him being unseen. Ruby’s heart sinks as she recalls her father, William, realizing the impact of her mother’s grief on Cindy.
Ruby visits her mother to confront the situation. Tearfully, her mom admits that she talks to her late husband as a way of coping with her loss. She insists it was never meant to frighten Cindy, but Ruby points out how it confuses her daughter. After a heartfelt conversation about grief, Ruby encourages her mother to seek therapy and to be more mindful of how her coping mechanism affects others.
Over the following months, therapy helps Ruby’s mother process her loss. She rediscovers her love for painting and bonds with Cindy over creative projects. Conversations about William become private, and Cindy feels comfortable spending time with her grandmother again.
The family finds a new sense of balance, with Ruby’s mother embracing a healthier way to remember her late husband while fostering a positive relationship with Cindy. Through open communication and support, they navigate grief and rebuild their lives together.
