Based in a small Texas town, Chrissy Cogdell shares her soul and exposes the pain of child loss, the futility of fighting against the chaos of life, and the joy found in the rescuing grace of Jesus. She has seven children and Twelve grandchildren that she fondly refers to as "his, mine and theirs.” In the middle of the mess, Chrissy has established a non-profit called First Touch Family to support other families of child loss.

We celebrated my baby boy, Chris’ life on March 25, 2016. It was Good Friday (only God).
I know that the body we held and loved on this earth met Jesus face to face and that he is worshiping at the feet of Jesus. Yet most days, my heart is still so heavy. The weight of lost hopes and dreams swirl through every joyful moment and every sad moment. I can intimately feel the pain of another mother who gave up her son for the benefit of us.
What I wouldn’t give to have my boy back.
