Melanie DeSimone is well-known in the bereaved parent community as the author of the blog “The Life I Didn’t Choose”, which has had over 4,000,000 hits since its inception in 2014.  She writes daily … pithy, practical posts … that speak directly to the hearts of grieving parents.  Over the last several months, the Lord has led her to expand her ministry beyond just writing.  Today we have a wide-ranging conversation that includes the story of her son Dominic, why she began writing, where she finds herself ten years into her grief journey, and the new mission the Lord has laid on her heart.
