    Rob is so candid and honest about his journey through grief after losing Henry. If he had to stop writing to cry or puke, he did and then returned to the task. Tragically, children die of illness or in accidents and it's time it stopped being a kind of taboo. Yes, it seems to go against the natural sequence of things but it happens. We need to talk about it and learn what we can do to be of support.

When my Mom died of cancer next to me, I was enraged to the fact that she died from this disease, I was very sensitive & easily angered at friends & family members who started to question me how she died to the point that I assumed these people may accuse me of something or doubting my love toward my mother. I was worried so much about their opinions & even found it harder to ignore them to the point that I wished I could write about my feelings/ my story to alert these people that they were completely wrong & I should show them how much pains that we should live with this loss & that we are just the children who love our Mom.

    I don't know how anybody on that show can keep it together, I am bawling. Life is just so cruel and unfair sometimes. Rob seems like an amazing dad.💖

    I love this interaction. So loving and respectful. I love hearing him talk about Henry. I bet he was a great kid. Glad we get to read more about him. Adding his book to my list. 💜

    My son (first child) will be 10 months officially tomorrow and imagining him no longer with me in this world is something I can never believe I’ll ever accept moving forward. Not hearing him laugh or not being able to smell him is something that would cripple me. Rob is so strong both as a parent and a human being. 🙏🏻
