Finding hope after losing a child to childhood cancer. We are a bereaved family too, losing our baby to Wilm's Tumor in 2015. This podcast showcases the reality of childhood cancer and the subsequent grief journey for us and for other families around the world who are affected by childhood cancer loss. Our hope is that families can relate to our experiences. We are not medical professionals. We are griefists - unskilled in childhood cancer grief.
