On today's episode, our 1st of 2022, we are celebrating and remembering Aliyah who's mom took her life 9 years ago today. If you've been a listener, you'll remember back in 2020 when Bonnie, her grandmother, came on and talked about that painful time. Today we speak with her Aunt, Sarah as she recalls that day and we discuss the various red flags, lack of DCF findings, and possibly the worst part, when a doctor didn't report a skull fracture and possible brain bleed 2 day's before her passing.

Today we surround this family with prayers and thoughts about this sweet girl taken far too soon. Please see the below resources discssed on this episode and please reach out with any questions or if you need help finding a resource or support.
