To the family of little Olivia -
As a grandma who has buried two infant grandchildren (8 months and 10 months), I cannot say that I know exactly how you feel - but I can say that I understand the overwhelming grief you are experiencing.
Please know that there are others in this world who share your pain and that my thoughts and prayers are with your entire family.
