Community, fellowship, friendship, whatever you call it. It’s what will lift you up when you are down.

Struggling with how to share the passing of children (or anyone) with kids? Here are a few ways you may be able to that.

Philanthropy and giving back in general can be an amazing tool for healing. You heal your heart by giving to someone in need. Whatever need that is. You feel purposeful, you feel alive, they feel loved and sometimes it even affords you the opportunity to memorialize the one you are grieving.

While healing takes time and time does dull most wounds, triggers are those sneaky little things or moments that will stop you in your tracks for years to come. They can be shocking but, they are in normal after a trauma.

If you haven’t been through grief yourself, you probably really struggle with what to do, say and how to be of any help at all. So, I hope this will be of some help if you’re the friend navigating how to support those at the peak of their suffering.

Levi is our second son. Our second child conceived naturally and our second son with Urea Cycle Disorder – OTC Deficient. The journey continues…

I hope Brady’s story helps someone navigate a similar circumstance. I hope his life continues to be cherished and that his legacy is one of love and power. He gave us the information we needed to know in order to get to where we were meant to be.
