Lifting up my fellow #momcologist @desmaligs today, on the ninth year without her son Josh. Hoping 🙏 someday we both can get through December without pain in our hearts. #kidsgetcancertoo #griefquotes #buddha #childloss https://www.instagram.com/p/BryU6yUALP6/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ipmp2bko4ip3

Childhood Cancer Awareness Month #CCAM has come to Saskatoon! Huge thanks to fellow momcologist Jenn for making this happen. Naomi and Kim were beyond thrilled to watch the flag they designed and the Flag Shop created being flown at the steps of city hall for the first time ever! #medic_77 (Troy Davies) thanks for stepping in on behalf of the city and MLA Greg Ottenbreit for speaking on behalf of the province. #dosomething4cc #kidsgetcancertoo #childhoodcancerawareness #yxe

A fellow #momcologist & #bereavedmother posted a question on FB about the #fivestagesofgrief & asked how each of us has dealt. My explanation went like this: my #grief began at #diagnosis with #shockanddenial at how my barely 12 year old soccer star daughter had been living with #cancer. The #anger & #guilt came when the #treatment caused her to lose her ability to walk unassisted & her friends slowly stopped calling. #despair & #depression came when the team told us to call in #hospice not to mention all the #loneliness from her passing. #acceptance. Now that is a loaded word. While I may have to accept a life without her, my true acceptance will be on that day I see her again. You see, #childhoodcancer has taken so much from me, but I will not let it take my #faith that one day I WILL see her again. #ccam #childhoodcancerawareness #morethan4 #gogold #kidsgetcancertoo #lovelikelola

I don't grieve for what we didn't do, I grieve for her future. Her husband. Her children. All that she never got to do, simply by growing up. I started a new project a little over a week ago, mostly as a way for me to work through my own grieving process. My friend Jason had just been taken off of life support after a bicycle accident left him in a coma. A week prior, our childhood cancer community suffered a very tough loss when Super Sammy received his wings and cape. A few days later I got a message that a fellow momcologist, who lost her own son to cancer, had passed away from an infection. And all of this was happening around Lauren's 20th birthday. This project is on-going, centered around the souls I've loved and lost. As you can see, the last two weeks have been hard, to say the least. I'd like to ask all of you to please pray, light a candle and send caring loving thoughts to my friend Leslie's family and friends. They need our love today. WE need your love today.
