Description: Kelsey Lizee Cecil on losing both parents and publishing Rally Takes the Train, the children's book her mom always wanted to write.

If your parents died before you got to know them as fellow adults, you lost more than them: you lost the adult relationship with your parents that was still taking shape. That's a real grief, even if it's hard to explain. You can name it, and you can still get to know them through the people and pieces they left behind.
