A Good Grief

The internet is amazing. Simply amazing. Without it, learning to deal with losing Preslee would have been drastically different. We've been able to come in contact with so many great couples who have walked in our shoes. They've contacted us and shown their love and support, it's given us something to aim for. There are a few women who have given me hope...that it will be alright again. I've watched how they've handled the intense grief and heartache that comes from burying a child and I've set goals to become like them. They've made the best of their situations and have blogged about their journey.

One of the couples is Vic and Molly Jackson. They lost their daughter Lucy, their only child at the time a couple months before her 2nd Birthday. Below is the short documentary BYUtv made on their family. You'll also see the Saville family from Pocatello who lost their little Gabriel the same week we lost Preslee.

I wanted to share the video to let others know they created A Good Grief which is a website to help people with grieving. The website also takes donations to help family's pay for children's headstones. We know how expensive headstones are and feel grateful we've had help of our own. As I watched this video I of course cried. The hospital was a very emotional place for our family and I hate that others have to experience similar things to what we went through. But to see where they are today, and what they have accomplished is inspiring.
