Content note: this story includes the death of an infant child.
Tania Chomyk woke up on November 11th, 1998, turned to her husband, and said, what an angel, he slept through the night. Her six month old son, Danylo, was already gone.
In this part of her conversation on The Life Shift, Tania talks about the fog of that day and the five year old daughter who gave her a reason to keep going. She shares the white angel Beanie Baby that found her family, the anger she felt toward God, and the nights she quietly checked on the baby who came after. She talks about hiding away for a while, the Easter question that undid her at work, and how she learned to carry grief when it shows up.
