Carol, I’ve done some writing workshops with you over the years including through my participation with Rehobeth, coordinated by Susan Steinberg for over 12 years. We lost our grandson, John Thomas, on March 29, less than 24 hours after a healthy birth. Tentative diagnosis is Streptococcus B. I in 10,000 infants die of this. We are devastated for our own loss but feel a more acute distress for our son and daughter in law. I’ve alreadybeen writing and gave them a journal and your website. We are moving as best we can through this dark valley and hope to glean from your work.
