Moving on and the big cat

"Moving on" had an interesting ending, where she is finally chosen by a guy. I dont feel like she is fully happy but i do think she will learn to be happy. She said "i heard someday ill barely remember that i ever knew my first husband ..." " i'm not looking forward to this day but i wont turn my back on it " and than after that she say " the manual often stated, its my future" i think she was finally brainwashed into the way the case managers thought that they shouldn't grieve and although she still missed her husband she learned to let him go and move forward. I think the window friend symbolized the husband where she imagined him being there as if she would have died. She didn't rememeber the way her window friend looked like because she only imagined her husband standing there.

"the Big Cat" the ending of the book seemed to end the way it started in her family's house with them snoring but this time his mind screen changed to something more extreme where he imagined himself being a prey of the big cat. It kind of hard to understand whether he was regretful about his decision of getting back with his wife, or if he was happy about his decision. he said "Althouhg Elida nad i made Valery happy, and id thought i was contented with Elida" but than at the end he says " she has swallowed my heart whihc to me is something good.
