Welcome to The Vail Project Blog
written by Vail's mom
This blog is intended as an outlet for personal feelings surrounding the loss of Vail. The content may be triggering to others who are suffering grief from child-loss. Content found on this blog may be offensive to some, though that is not my intent. I can only hope that my open accounting of this tragic journey, touches the lives of others. This blog should serve as a safe place, where all who enter can be honest about the shattering grief of child-loss, no matter how ugly the truth may be.
