Gone Too Soon - Zoe's Magic Wand Gold Ribbon Conversations

Gold Ribbon Conversations - The podcast that supports those fighting Childhood Cancer.
Trigger Warning: This episode discusses the loss of a child to cancer.

Carmel O’Mahony gave birth to her first baby Zoe 2016
When Zoe was nearly 3 and a half, Carmel's maternal instinct told her that this new tiredness and vomiting was something more serious. 
It was ATRT, a very rare tumour with a 40% chance of survival. 
Surgery, chemo and proton therapy followed - but zoe relapsed in March 2020
They had a beautiful spring together as a family but Zoe’s fight would end quickly in June less than a year after diagnosis..
Zoe loved Crumlin and Crumlin loved Zoe.The whole corridor was lined with staff as a guard of honour. We talk about grief and spirit.
About her little life and the huge impact she made. 
And we talk about the courage it takes to continue after losing a child.
