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

Grief support for young adults who lost a parent does exist, but it's scattered: peer communities, online groups, hospice bereavement programs that are open to anyone, and grief therapists. If the first group you tried was full of people decades older, you didn't fail at support. You just haven't found your room yet, and sometimes you end up building it yourself.
