A post by Lisa Elifritz, Founder and Executive Director of You ARE Loved
Just a few thoughts about the tragic loss of my daughter, Amy Ray Elifritz . . .
Two years ago today, I lost my daughter to tampon induced Toxic Shock Syndrome.
The fear and anticipation of her death was far worse than her actual dying. When she left us I felt as though her soul come into me. She is now with me twenty- four hours a day, seven days a week. I am very fortunate to have the beauty of her presence within me. This feeling has given me a great sense of peace. Although she can’t speak directly to me, I communicate with her all the time by simply thinking of her. And she will always, ALWAYS be my beautiful little girl.
I love you Amy.
