Lana and Clay

I was watching Criminal Minds a few days ago and there was a case where a man had kidnapped a little girl and it was possible she was dead. A detective told his unit some statistics that I thought were very interesting so I researched it a little further.

He said the death of a child is voted to be the hardest thing a couple could go through. However only 16% of marriages who experience death of a child go through with divorce. "Less than half of those divorced reported the death of their child as a factor in the decision to divorce." Depending on how Lana and Clay continue to act toward each other, odds are for them that they wont get divorced.

"Experts say that parents typically never "get over" the loss of a child, but rather learn to adjust and to integrate the loss into their lives. Still, the death of a child remains one of the most stressful life events imaginable. One-fourth to one-third of parents who lose a child report that their marriage suffers strains that sometimes prove irreparable." This is a good quote i found, by Jane Brody, that further explained Clay and Lana's relationship after the tragic death of their son.
