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.

Customer Reviews
Thank you for the tears and for the laughter 💜
August 20th 2022 I lost my 4 year old niece, two weeks shy of her 5th birthday to cancer. We didn’t even know she had it. It all happened so fast and so furious my head is still spinning and I’m in a sort of time warp I think. Finding things to read or listen to from an aunts point of view are near impossible. I stumbled upon this podcast in my desperate search, and it is helping me so much. This podcast is helping me navigate this darkness. 💜#Jeraleesjourney
