Child-loss Blog and Podcast
Today is Drew’s 26th birthday. It is the 5th birthday I have had to celebrate without him. I won’t lie, this has been a tough one. I’m not entirely sure why but I have felt myself fall in the rabbit hole and not much strength to get out of it. All the what if’s and what could be’s have been […]
There are so many things that suck about losing a child. You have so many regrets and wishes and dreams that won’t be fulfilled.

Today we were supposed to schedule our blog to post at a later time then when we wrote them. So that is what I am doing. I sitting here at my computer at midnight trying to get all these things done. I just don’t seem to have enough time. I still have tons of homework and a full day […]

This was one rough week. It seemed like a lot was thrown at us. I guess it’s not much different than any other time. Usually when it rains it pours and all you can hope for his a break in the storm so you can take cover. My Mom got sick while she was visiting my sister. When she got […]
