Written By Brandi Fleck

What would you do if the unthinkable happened—and you had to keep living? In this hope-filled conversation, Shirl Baker opens up about losing her daughter, DeEbony Groves, in the 2018 Waffle House shooting in Antioch, Tennessee. She shares the raw truth of that day, how the grief carved a permanent wound in her soul—and how faith, scripture, and service gave her the strength to survive. She founded the DeEbony Groves Foundation to help other grieving mothers reclaim joy through healing retreats, pampering weekends, and red carpet moments to honor their lost children.
