This episode discusses the loss of a child to cancer.
While this conversation is essential for families who have experienced this grief, it may be understandably upsetting and so we encourage you to protect your emotional wellbeing.
Lyndsey McKenna joins us to talk about her little man, Fionn.
Fionn was two and a half when he passed away 10 months after being diagnosed with Leukaemia.
His little body couldn’t do anymore but his life, and legacy certainly will.
Lyndsey with love and pride shares his story with us, from symptoms and diagnosis, to being cherished during every minute of the end.
We talk about grief and disbelief, how her circle have supported her and Fionn’s dad Jay and how their second son Tiernan will always be aware of his amazing big brother the signs Fionn leaves for them all
Some words that helped on the hardest of days and how important it is to give parents the space to talk about the children they’ll always love.
