Matt Logelin didn’t know what he was going to do when his cherished wife, Liz, died hours after giving birth to their baby girl. But something inside led him to her pregnancy blog. And that led Matt on a real-life inspirational journey through grief to finding life after heartache.
In 2005, Matt moved out to California to once and for all put an end to the long-distance part of the couple’s relationship. The two relished their newfound time together by traveling the world. While they were in Nepal, Matt asked Liz to join him in their next big adventure — marriage.
Of course, she said “yes.” And the two married later that same year.
Life just kept getting better. Both Matt and Liz were enjoying success in their careers. They purchased a house together and soon conversations turned toward starting a family.
In 2007 that dream came true. Doctors informed the elated couple that Liz was pregnant with their first child — a baby girl!
True Story Inspires Fatherhood Movie With Kevin Hart
With the success of Matt Logelin’s blog, he then wrote a touching memoir, Two Kisses for Maddy: A Memoir of Loss and Love. From there, Paul Weitz and Dana Stevens turned Matt and Liz Logelin’s real-life story into the movie Fatherhood starring Kevin Hart in 2021. It can be found on Netflix.
There will always be unexpected grief and heartache in this world. But God will always make good on his promise to somehow work all things, even the tragedies, together for good.
