When Tragedy Strikes

After the death of a child, there is no closure. It is like learning how to live with an amputation--you are forever changed and need to learn how to live a new normal. There can be a feeling of desperation to find someone farther ahead on the path who can understand the crushing pain that makes you feel like you can t even breathe at times.

After the death of a child, there is no closure. It is like learning how to live with an amputation---you are forever changed and need to learn how to live a new “normal.” There can be a feeling of desperation to find someone farther ahead on the path who can understand the crushing pain that makes you feel like you can’t even breathe at times. 


Laura Diehl was plunged into that place with the death of her daughter, and meets the deep need to connect with others who have experienced what cannot be put into words. "When Tragedy Strikes"  is the raw account of her journey from deep darkness back into light and life, extending a hand of hope to those traveling on the path behind her, who need to rebuild their lives after the death of a child.
