Influencer's Raw Grief: 'Nothing is Normal Anymore'

Parenting influencer Lindsay Dewey has opened up about the profound impact of grief nine months after the tragic death of her youngest son, Reed. In a recent Instagram post, she shared a video detailing the constant, quiet reminders of his absence in their daily lives. Small objects and remnants of Reed's presence serve as poignant acknowledgments of their new reality.

Reed, aged 22 months, passed away in February when an unsecured mirror fell on him at their home in Idaho. Dewey recounted the devastating accident, explaining how a suction cup bowl used as a toy caused the heavy mirror to topple. Despite immediate efforts, Reed succumbed to his injuries, and doctors later confirmed he was brain-dead.

Now, Dewey emphasizes that 'nothing is really normal anymore' for her family. While adjusting to their circumstances is incredibly difficult, she finds solace in cherishing the joy Reed brought into their lives. She also revealed that Reed's organs were donated, saving five lives, and that she has published a children's book, 'Reed's Roar,' to honor his memory.
