When Kahlia died, I knew I was grieving her. What surprised me was everything else.

The graduation I would never attend.

The children she'd never have.

The Christmases with an empty chair.

The person she was still becoming.

For a long time, I thought these thoughts meant I was denying she had died.

I know now they were simply another part of loving her and the future I wished for her

We don't only grieve the person who died. We grieve the future they were supposed to have.

And sometimes no one tells us that's normal.

That's why I wrote this guide.

I hope it helps you feel a little less alone in carrying the life that didn't happen.
