Has vs. Have
It feels as though the rest of their lives has officially just begun, and she welcomes it.
Is that "has" wrong beside "lives," or is it right in conjunction with "the rest"? Should it rather be "have," even though it ends with "it"? In my mind, "have" and then "it" don't work together, because the former makes it plural and the latter makes it end in singularity.
Thanks.

The verb must agree with their lives , so only have is correct. That second it works just fine, since its antecedent is singular.
