Before My 19-Year-Old Son Died, He Donated His Heart to an 18-Year-Old Girl—Then Her Mother Handed Me a Letter: “Mom, There’s Something You Need to Know About Her”
That is why I became irritated whenever people said:
“He died to save her.”
No.
Caleb did not die to save Maya.
He died because he was sick.
Then his donation helped save her.
Words matter.
Especially around grief.
