Beverly shrugs in response to the observation. "It's not much different here from what it would be were I on the Enterprise. The end result is still the same. I have no idea where my son is or what he's doing. I just have to have faith in his abilities." It will always be something of a sore point for her, but what kind of mother would she be if she didn't worry about her son's well-being?

In a way, she's let go of the last piece of her husband and that is also a point that occasionally swirls around in her mind. But for all that she loved Jack with every fiber of her being, he isn't, can't, be part of her life anymore. She will always have their memories, though, and those she treasures. She has come a long way from the woman who almost lost herself to her grief and maybe that time and strength got her through letting go of her son, too.
