About Us

When our daughter Claire was diagnosed with Rett Syndrome in 2007 we were underwhelmed by the information about life with the disorder online, so I started a blog and shared our stories. This lead to connection with others in similar circumstances that I am grateful to be connected with. It changed the game for us to feel less alone.We built a beautiful life in spite of our challenges and made loads of incredible memories that more than offset the hardships.

In 2021 it all changes when Claire passed on to her next adventure unexpectedly. It was the most disorienting and traumatic event of our life. As we work to continue living and make sense of what life is now, we have noticed that there's not a lot of content around child loss for those who were also caregivers to a multiply disabled, medically fragile child. We want to share our story and hopefully meet others with similar circumstances again and maybe somebody out there will feel a little less isolated because this is being talked about.

In a special Friday evening episode, we discuss Chloe not needing us, how crazy winter in Australia is and the complicated feelings around social expectations of grieving parents. This will be our last episode until August. We are looking forward to a break and coming back with some fresh stories.
