What began as an ordinary January day in 2017 became every parent's worst nightmare when Maureen and Doug Walgren's sixteen-year-old son, Corey, died under shocking and tragic circumstances.  Invisible Threads addresses the unanswered questions, rumors, and truths that followed-and the lasting impact on a family and community searching for meaning. Maureen, Doug, and their two surviving children faced a grief that reshaped everything they knew. As they struggled to endure the unthinkable, they were confronted not only with loss, but with public scrutiny, a malicious internet troll, a serious hospital HIPAA violation, and a two-year legal battle with the local school district and police department-whom they believe literally scared Corey to death during a school disciplinary incident that ended in tragedy. Covered by national and local media, the case exposed troubling gaps in how schools handle discipline and student vulnerability. The Walgrens found purpose in helping to get a new law passed and in starting a non-profit in Corey's memory. At its heart,  Invisible Threads  is a deeply personal memoir about love, resilience, and connection. It is one mother's honest account of grief and healing, and the unexpected ways a life and a loss can continue to connect us, weaving people together in ways both seen and unseen.
