"I don’t want to raise kids that are tough. I know my kids will face challenges and hardship; no one can “tough” their way through death, loss, and grief. I want to raise children who are resilient. Resilience will make it possible for them to suffer great pain, seek comfort from people around them, and find ways to move on and discover new joy."
