My Dying Child

The experience of two parents navigating the last months of their son’s life

Our Palliative Journey

Finding out that your child is going to die, and then caring for them through that time is perhaps the hardest thing a parent has to do.

Our son Thomas died from a brain tumour in November 2022. Navigating the time from when we knew he was going to die, through to his death, was incredibly hard.

Our podcasts are a series of short episodes about our experience as parents. We discuss topics such as managing those last months, palliative care and talking about dying with Thomas and his siblings.

Every family’s experience is difference, but by sharing our journey, we hope that others going through this gain some knowledge and comfort from knowing that they are not alone.
