BY JODI BONDI NORGAARD | Wednesday, Feb. 7, marks the 38th anniversary of National Girls and Women in Sports Day, started by the Women’s Sports Foundation to honor the achievements and unlock the limitless potential of girls and women in sports.

Grief is long, complicated, isolating, and devastating. It’s also something that we will all experience.
