Ben’s grief beard: With Toddler Eden nevertheless lacking immediately after the two calendar year time soar, Ben is “in a really dark place,” Rake teased. “He’s sort of stuck in this grief pit and this profound anger, and that’s the thing about anger is it begs to stick around and robs you of your beauty and you end up pushing the people you love the most away,” Dallas defined.
When his close friends and family members are nevertheless there, “he can’t really connect with them, so he pushes them away. He also pushes the Callings away.
