COURTICE, ON.—For two months, Darlin and Gerry Bonchek have been trying to give their disabled grandson, Ben, answers about the fire that killed his entire family. They drive Ben, who is 16, to and from Oshawa every day, so he doesn’t have to leave the school where he feels most comfortable. When Ben asks what his mom and siblings are doing, his grandparents tell him they’re in heaven. Their main added cost for his care right now is gas, to make sure his life isn’t uprooted from Oshawa to Courtice. “It’s been an adjustment.” While learning to go about their lives without Steven there, the pair have had a lot of support.
