A "conspiracy of improbabilities" was how Deepak Chopra described the tragic events that took the life of Joshua Rothstein in 2002 when he was struck by a car at just fifteen-and-a-half years old. That conspiracy would thrust Nancy, her husband, and their two daughters into a profound state of grief sparked by Josh's sudden death. Yet with pure grace, the wall of death was shattered for Nancy, and she stepped back into life.
