reinventing a family
After a child dies, the entire vibe of a family shifts. Join me as I discuss navigating new family dynamics and how the book “Grief is a Dancer” by Alisa Bair forced me to think about my remaining kids even as I wallow in grief.

When it comes to surviving the death of a child, the statistics are terrifying. Are they a life sentence, or can we do something as grieving parents to help ourselves? How does resilience play into grief?
Two months
Two months have passed since my daughter died. How am I doing? Terribly, thanks for asking. Grief is hard, but grieving the loss of a child is a beast of another nature.
bad things…good people
I’ve always tried to be a good person. So why does everyone that I love keep dying? Am I cursed? Join me as I ruminate about how bad things happen to good people, and how losing a child is the pinnacle of grief.

After your child has died, it’s amazing how many little things become constant reminders of the fact that your child is gone. It’s the little things that make grief all-encompassing.
she is everywhere
