How to Cope After the Death of Your Child

On April 1, 2000, while Angela was in Japan on military duty, her husband and four children were involved in a fatal car crash. The Alexander’s car fell 25 feet off the highway and landed upside down on top of two parked vehicles with people inside. 
The people in their vehicles were extremely shaken up but survived! Sadly her two eight-year-old sons didn't survive.

But the story does not end there. One of the many miracles was although Murice and Roger passed instantly at the scene, they had both written goodbye letters to their family above and beyond their age or grade levels.  You will not want to miss listening to this amazing story.

Life Gives Second Chances - She's Still Alive

Amy had a severe pain in her stomach while she was at a family celebration that caused her to pass out and remain comatose.  "My stomach exploded! How cool is that!"  were Amy Oestreicher's first words to her biology instructor when she came out of a four-month coma.  

She was given 122 units of blood and survived 27 surgeries to rebuild her digestive system.  She was told she would never dance again, never sing again and never eat food by mouth again.  She proved them wrong on each count.

Amy is a 28-year-old actress who tried out for a local production of Oliver and got the lead - WHILE hospitalized.  She wrote and starred in her one-woman musical, Gutless and Grateful, and was nominated for the Broadway World Award for Best Theatre Debut.

While in the hospital, she used various media types to produce 70 pieces of art (from tissue to cardboard) that were discovered by "The Today Show" and she is now a renowned artist.
