i am outraged.

as someone who has gone through ‘the system’ in canada and has seen it kill people, i’m so upset that it happened to your son.

i used to call the places that provided ‘the standard of care’ the ‘living morgues’. i can’t even give them that charitable of an interpretation anymore.

i know deep down i’m so sorry for how everything went down, i’m just too angry to feel that place right now.

God Sara, what to say. I know I haven’t been following you for long, but nevertheless this is a real shock. I am glad you have a platform because this should NEVER have happened. My heart goes out to you, and if there is anything I can do, get in touch. A child who loses her parents is an orphan, a wife who loses her husband is a widow, but there is no word for a parent who loses her child.
