What happens when tragedy strikes? When you, someone you love, or even someone you don't even know is hit hard by something unexpected and life-changing and goes through immeasurable suffering? You pray and you do what you can to help. And, at the very least, take away a whole new appreciation for life and how you live it.
On Saturday August 16, 2008, blogger Stephanie Nielson and her husband Christian were involved in a horrific plane crash. The pilot was killed, and both Stephanie and Christian are in critical condition and are in chemically-induced comas. Stephanie has burns covering 80% of her body.
They have four young children.

Wow, amazing what a community can do to support each other. It must be incredibly hard for her sister to continue blogging and not want to write about her sister every time. Great idea for a guide Mary.
