Our story has its horribly sad and devastating moments. Even now, there are times that the reality of the loss of our precious only child comes crashing in-Chad's birthday, his passing over day, Mothers and Fathers Day...It never ever entered my mind that the angels would call my son home before me.

But, our story doesn't end with the loss, just as our lives didn't physically end the day Chad was hit by a car on a class trip to England. That was the beginning of a new life...a very different, very tumultuous journey that we never would have chosen for ourselves. In honesty, we would not choose this if we were offered the choice today. No parent would. But, I can tell you, this new life is one of joy. Yes, joy! I have discovered within my badly battered heart, a brand new heart full of compassion, empathy, insight and freedom.

It has not been an easy path. In fact, there have been many times, I felt I could not go on. And, as I share my story with the members of my classes, I sense they can feel deeply my struggles, because they too, know the devastating sense of emptiness and confusion that comes with loss.

But, the beauty of this journey is, there can be newness of life. I am living proof.
