Kelly Cervantes is a writer, speaker, and advocate best known for her blog Inchstones, where she shared the stress, love, and joy that came with parenting her medically complex daughter, Adelaide, who died just five days shy of her fourth birthday in October 2019.
No one told me how much time I would spend in bed the weeks, months, and years following Adelaide’s death. No one told me—or maybe I just wasn’t paying attention when they did—how exhausting grief is.
