dear s.g.,

thank you for writing to us. i understand your feeling of 'raw',
although now, exactly 800 days after losing my daughter i am forming a
crust on top of the pain.

like the loss of your beloved 'soul child', my savannah's death was
totally preventable. doctors simply overlooked her congenital heart
defect. it is so difficult to fathom that such small things can lead
to the death of those we love so much.

for months after she died, i would walk my house at night in the dark,
searching for some sign of her. i smelled her clothes, willing myself
to be with her. i still check her email, her cell phone is still
operational, her toothbrush hangs in our bathroom.

i don't have much advice on the how's of grief. each of us are
different and our pain takes a lot of paths. i do know that each day
you stay alive to honor your exceptional sister is a day you are
victorious over death itself.

in deepest sorrow,

donna
