(00:00:00) Welcome And Kelly’s Light (00:05:30) The Night Everything Changed (00:10:45) Driving Into The Unknown (00:14:55) Coma Faith And A Peaceful Room (00:19:20) Choosing Organ Donation (00:24:00) Meeting The Boy Who Received Kelly's Heart (00:27:55) Rituals That Keep Kelly Close (00:31:40) Hope And Guidance For Grieving Parents A child can change a room with a smile, and Kelly Corbly did that everywhere she went. She was five years old, curly-haired, dog-obsessed, and fearless about loving people others avoided. Then one night, what looked like a bad dream became a medical emergency, and her parents, David and Ann, found themselves racing toward a children’s hospital with no clear answers, making choices no parent is ever prepared to make.We walk through the reality of sudden pediatric brain injury, including Kelly’s rare arteriovenous malformation (AVM), the terrifying hours around surgery, and the days of waiting as coma turned into brain death testing. David and Anne share what helped them endure: the kindness of nurses, a surprising sense of peace in the ICU room, and a faith experience that felt like comfort arriving at the exact moment it was needed. If you’ve searched for language around grief, shock, and spiritual questions after child loss, their honesty offers a steady place to land.Kelly’s legacy also becomes practical and life-changing through organ donation. With the guidance of an organ donor coordinator, the Corblys choose to donate, and they even meet Joshua, the little boy who receives Kelly’s heart and lives six more months because of her. We also talk about long-term bereavement, protecting a marriage after trauma, and the rituals that keep love close, from a celebration of life filled with stuffed puppies to a golden retriever named Kelly’s Angel.If Kelly’s story moves you, please subscribe, share this episode with someone who may need it, and leave a review so more grieving families can find these conversations.To learn more about Kelly, visit her website: KellyCorbly.orgBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/bereaved-but-still-me--2108929/support.
