Almost immediately after I lost Devin I was contacted on one of my forums by a woman who had lost her child. She stood by me… offered me advice when I asked… I asked questions on how she survived through it, how she feels now, how she was able to get through a subsequent pregnancy. Somehow talking to her reassured me that I was going to be okay, too. I saw all the things she’d done in her son’s memory, all the ways she had moved forward without ever letting go, and I knew I could do that too.

She just started a blog. Go read her story – Curtis’ story. It’s heartbreaking, just like my story is. My heart caught in my throat a couple of times in her story, the parts that I could have written. But it is different from mine.
