I've tried to email you but it comes up "No Reply Blogger" Can you email me at aninchofgray@yahoo.com? Thank you. Here is something I wrote about what helped us in the early days; maybe it can give you some ideas: http://aninchofgray.blogspot.com/2012/03/what-you-can-do-to-help-grieving-family.html<br /><br />Love, AnnaAnna Whiston-Donaldsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14921348961654008115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7334921515741798160.post-36913004739393424222014-04-13T19:40:37.190-07:002014-04-13T19:40:37.190-07:00Hi Anna,

We have an 11-year-old boy in our community who just died as a result of being hit by a baseball at middle school team practice on Friday. I wonder if you could email me? I don't know the family directly but my son plays baseball and goes to the same school. Can you tell me anything that was helpful to you in those early days after Jack's accident that helped you? I'd give the mom a copy of your book if it was out--and I will, when it is! In the meantime, is there anything I can do to help this family shoulder their grief? Thank you so much for being so transparent with your writing. I thank you in advance for any suggestions.<br />Jen G.Jen G.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7334921515741798160.post-53307328566949055502014-04-12T16:32:09.838-07:002014-04-12T16:32:09.838-07:00I need to go shopping with you.

Now instead of reading your post and thinking of the show, I'll think of your post while I watch the show--and I'm certain I'll think you're brilliant! <br /><br />(BTW, no students took part in this comment.

I discovered Scandal streaming on Netflix and totally binged on it last year. I am usually totally oblivious to fashion, but I LOVE her coats! (If you google, there's all kinds of websites that list everything she's worn.)<br />This season is fun, watching them use all the weird camera angles to hide her pregnancy.<br />And Anna, you ARE a gladiator!Pennynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7334921515741798160.post-67786301792642315292014-04-09T12:01:51.972-07:002014-04-09T12:01:51.972-07:00There is so much potential in that table!!

He's alive, but my biggest fear in life is losing my children or my husband. Something you've had to face. This fear grew from the traumatic start to our relationship---2 weeks after we started dating, he got very ill and was on life support for two months waiting for a heart transplant. And, we LOVE OLIVIA POPE! I just discovered Scandal a few weeks ago and I've digested all of the episodes already! Your post today was a sign for me to tell you how much I love your writing and your honest story of grief. I'm looking forward to your book!
