Losing a child is something no parent should ever have to go through, but one mom is being comforted with the help of her late son’s teammates
When Ely Dehart missed his basketball practice to drive his friend home tragedy struck.
As he was driving up a hill on a gravel road, he lost control of his car.
“They tried to correct it back onto the road and they rolled,” Ely Dehart’s mother, Jennifer Dehart, explained to “Good Morning America.”
Ely Dehart’s friend and cousin were in the car with him that day, but unfortunately Ely was the only one who did not survive the accident.
He was 14 years old and was described by his mother as a “very fun kid” who loved basketball and hugs.
“Losing a child is one of the worst feelings you’ll ever feel in your life. It’s the hardest thing you’ll ever have to go through and I hope nobody ever has to go through it because it is by far the worst,” Jennifer Dehart said.
She continued to share what her grief was like during that difficult time in 2020.
“You can’t breathe. Don’t want to eat. You don’t want to do anything. You just want to go with him, honestly.”
