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

Losing a parent can feel lonely even when you're surrounded by people, because loneliness isn't about how full the room is. It's about feeling known, and a parent is often the person who knew you longest and noticed when something was off. That kind of loneliness is common in adults after a parent dies, and small, steady steps toward connection can ease it.
