Book excerpt: Michelle Bauer's new book 'Jesse Was Here' is a story of loss and grief. It's also a story of love and hope. When Michelle's 13-year-old son, Jesse, died unexpectedly from complications related to type 1 diabetes, Michelle was devastated, like any parent would be who has lost a child. After Jesse was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes as a three-year-old, he and Michelle became tireless advocates in the diabetes community. After Jesse died, Michelle harnessed her grief and continued to courageously attack this disease head on. Michelle is amazingly open about the pain of losing a child, and she has become a wonderful resource for other parents and children around the world.
