Most Monday nights the ABC screens an episode of 'Australian Story', a half hour show charting some interesting aspect of the life of an Australian. Sometimes they are famous, sometimes just interesting, but it provides a generally sympathetic look at its subject.

 

Last night's was searing. In 2014 an Australian couple, their three young children and the wife's father were on holidays in Amsterdam. The couple decided to stay on for a couple of extra days, while the grandfather took the children home to Perth for the start of the school term. They waved their family off in their taxi to catch their flight back to Australia, on flight MH17. You know what happened next.

 

The program documents their grief and how they have rebuilt their lives since the world ended.

Tonight's episode is about a couple who having had two children from their IVF cycle and were faced with the decision as to what to do with the remaining embryos they had frozen in storage, and their decision to donate to another couple. If you want a bit of a cry this should do it.
