The daughter of RHOC original Jeana Keough tragically lost son McCoy six days after giving birth to him via home delivery in April 2020.
For Christians, for Jews and for me, this time is a reminder of the death of firstborn sons. Sacrifice. Suffering. Mourning. Mourning.
‘Why is this night different from other nights? Last Easter was the worst night of my life. We held our firstborn son in our arms as he breathed his last. We spent time in hell watching your child die.
This Easter is definitely better. Despite that miserable Easter night, I cannot ignore the fact that this day also stands for rebirth. Renewed hope.
