Memories of Ava
It’s been three years since the tragic death of Adam (Mark Grossman) and Sally’s (Courtney Hope) daughter, Ava. The loss of their baby had a tremendous impact on Adam and Sally. Recently, there’s been a lot of mentions about Ava now that Sally’s pregnant with Billy’s (Jason Thompson) baby.
Sally’s pregnancy has not only brought back memories of Ava for her, but also of Adam. On the May 26 episode, Billy told Adam about Sally’s pregnancy and their engagement. Adam put on a strong front as he took in the news, but deep down, it’s bothering him.
When Adam told Chelsea (Melissa Claire Egan) the news later, he admitted it brought back memories of Ava. Adam confessed he thinks about Ava every day, and her loss still hurts him.
Chelsea offered her support to Adam, but that might not be enough to help him. The reminders of Ava and Sally’s pregnancy could trigger a breakdown for Adam.
Unresolved Grief
Adam feels responsible for Ava’s death because it was his decision to choose to save Sally’s life over their daughter’s. At first, Sally blamed Adam for Ava’s death, but she later forgave him. Although Sally forgave him, Adam hasn’t forgiven himself.
Adam had to live with the guilt since that tragic day. Part of him will always wonder if he did the right thing and what could’ve happened if he chose to save Ava.
To be put in that situation was difficult for Adam, and one reason he’s still struggling with grief. In the aftermath of Ava’s death, Adam did break down, but then he had to put on his brave face. He felt he needed to be strong for Sally as they mourned their loss together.
With Adam concerned more about Sally, he didn’t do anything to help his own grief. But now he’ll have to face it head-on with the recent turn of events.
Sally’s pregnancy will have Adam haunted by Ava’s death and his actions that fateful day. As Adam struggles with his unresolved grief, it could lead him to have a breakdown and a need to protect Sally. But could Adam’s need to help Sally lead to more heartache for his ex?
