“The Long Goodbye” is a dramedy about love, hope, and letting go. For Mrs. Pet, disbelief is the easiest way to deal with the death of her only child, 28-year-old Amy.

For Clarence, Mrs. Pet’s husband, and Terry, her son-in-law, time is the best medicine. It’s been nearly two years since Amy died on Christmas morning. And for two years Mrs. Pet has patiently waited for her to return, believing that Amy didn’t die, but went away until she was better.

Mrs. Pet has been trapped in time since that morning, refusing to remove her Christmas tree or decor.
