When Alisa died, Sari strongly thought that life must overcome death. He took good care of Isak. Over
In March 2020 Sari Finnen loved ones doubted whether he would survive. That’s why there was someone at Sari’s place for two weeks.
Deep concern had arisen when Sari had already lost her second child within a short time. The fates of Alisa and Isak are told Trauma – traces of suicide in the series.
Both siblings committed suicide in the same place, in the same way and at the same age. Alisa and Isak were only 15 years old when they died. Alisa left her little brother three years earlier in Easter 2017 by her own hand.
In April 2017, Sari lost Alisa. Just three years later, it was the turn of another tragedy. Over
In Trauma, Sari’s mother talks about her grief and how she blames – and on the other hand doesn’t blame – herself.
– Yes, that Isak said that I was a good mother after all, Sari recalls her child’s words.
Isak also told the same thing in his last text message.
– Sorry to ruin your day. But I had to. You’ve been the best mom.
In addition to Sari, the show features Alisa and Isak’s adult cousin Jennika Koistinen.
– You were the best mother for both of us, she reminds Sari.
In order to get rid of the guilt, Sari consciously tries not to look for the culprits in her children’s fates and to tell a story in which she is a survivor.
– I don’t mean that everything is damn fine, he points out.
– I don’t want sad stories in my life.
