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 to COVID often meant a fast illness, goodbyes at a distance and a funeral that was tiny, delayed or online, so the grief can feel unfinished and strangely lonely. It isn't a lesser or a stranger grief. It's the loss of your mom or dad, and it deserves the same care, support and time as any other.
