It’s Just Me… Holly Chamberlain’s blog chronicles her journey from the most horrific moment in her life to present day. As she crawls her way through her grief, she utilizes humor and raw emotion to write about her challenges, struggles, fears and hopes. The blog began as a way to express her private thoughts with a few close friends but it has evolved into something quite different.  Holly’s blog has been shared with thousands of people, some of whom are living a similar story. Holly’s vulnerability gives others permission to be vulnerable. She is irreverent at times, yet still full of faith and hope. She is honest, blunt, and spares no intimate detail.

Halloween has never been my thing. Oh, I did it up for Mase ‘cause that’s what mamas do, but it’s never been the holiday that really tripped my trigger. Now, even less so. Mase, age 3 As I sip my coffee and consider my evening plans, I’m wondering, “What does a childless...

I saw him in my dream a few nights ago and he was so beautiful! In his early 20's and so amazingly handsome and confident, he had a backpack slung over one shoulder and a relaxed grin on his face. He showed up to travel with me. I was so...

It’s strange to be writing this because I still feel like I am living in a dream, a nightmare of the worst kind. I still hope I will wake up on June 3rd, 2013, and have a chance to do it all over again and save my son’s life. But...

I was never fully convinced that I had a soul until I felt mine shatter on June 3rd, 2013. I had always suspected we were spiritual beings, and forever hoped there was something more eternal than just this temporary existence on earth, but what confirmation do we have? Faith is...

The following is what I wrote in preparation for sharing a piece of my story at Casa de Luz on April 28th, 2014. "My name is Holly Chamberlain. I am the founder of the aMasongrace project. The aMasongrace project exists to empower and support young people, share a message of truth,...
