With a narrative that will touch your heart, Bella talks candidly about tackling undiagnosed lupus, spine surgery, and personal upheavals that would have brought many to their knees. But not her.

Soul-stirring is an understatement when describing how spirituality and the loss of a child have shaped Bella's path to healing.

Her reflections serve as a moving tribute to the deep bond they shared and her pledge to continue his work.
