And everyone grieves differently.

I'm sure you know this, but my husband went—we owned our own business, so he immediately went back to work because he was like—

We're not going to let this completely destroy our lives.

We've got to hold on to something.

So that's what he focused on, which was great.

And I focused on Caleb.

And Caleb was little.

He was barely five at the time.

So...

Luckily, he could go to school, and he could kind of get away from the grief because he had no idea what it was.

For a full year, he would ask me when Calder was coming back because he thought he was playing hide-and-seek, and he just was doing a really good job because that's how a 5-year-old's brain works, right?

Right.

So what happened was my husband –

Because we owned a little TV production company, you know, there are mediums in television all the time.

And there was a guy who worked for us who had produced a show with a medium.

And he said to my husband, unbeknownst to me, would you ever want a reading with a medium?

And my husband was like, what is that?

Because that's how far—I mean, I had watched TV shows, so I knew what a medium was, but—

I didn't know at the time that any of that was at our disposal.

So my husband had a reading with a medium named A.J.
