Behind the sharp jokes, @​chelseahandler was a nine year old girl trying to survive a loss no child knew how to explain. After her oldest brother died, Chelsea watched grief consume her family and felt her father disappear emotionally. Her third-grade teacher, Mrs. Sheckman, noticed what others had missed. She checked on Chelsea, reminded her that she was special, and remained in her life long after that school year ended. Decades later, the woman who never wanted children became “father” to three girls and began giving them the same belief Mrs. Sheckman once gave her.
