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 and her husband Blake have established a non-profit called First Touch Family to support other families of child loss.

“Your son is dead.” I looked around in disbelief. Could this really be my life? My hopes and dreams lay in a heap of ashes at my feet mixed with my tears.
Did I do something to cause this?
There was a belief in Jewish culture that if something bad in your life happened it must be because there was great sin in your life.
We live in a broken world. A world where good decisions are not always rewarded and bad decisions are not always punished.
Where sometimes good men die and bad men thrive. Where suffering strikes the innocent.
