Advice from a mental health counselor I spoke to about what to tell your kids about

if they watched him collapse or ask about the game:
“What happened to Damar is not common and the very best doctors are caring for him.”
“It’s OK to be sad/scared. I am too.”

We’ve finally warmed up! By doing this silly thing, we raised $2000 to feed WNY hospital workers!
It’s still not too late to donate on our GoFundMe page. But the overall lesson is do anything you can to help, because one person, or one family, can make a difference.

We lost our sweet Lucy today.
She loved car rides with her ears flapping in the breeze, snuggles after baths, tolerating Elliott who took her throne as the baby, & she lived for pizza.
Our hearts feel a void but they were filled with Lucy’s love for almost 17 yrs.
