Grief is a universal feeling that comes with the loss of a loved one, but it can also come from the loss of the life you thought you were going to live. In this episode of A Place of YES, Heather Straughter chats with Lizzy. Lizzy’s daughter has special needs like Heather’s son Jake did before he passed. Lizzy opens up about her daughter’s rare diagnosis, her responses to therapists and other professionals telling her “she ‘s asking the wrong questions,” and the joy that comes with being a parent of a medically fragile child.
