Loss of a child to brain cancer

Hi my name is Amanda and I lost my 6 year old daughter Ava to brain cancer almost 4 years ago. SInce Ava passed I have found it difficult to find bereavement support and I found this community today. I thought I might try here to see if there are other parents who have lost a child to brain cancer who would like to connect online.

Re: Loss of a child to brain cancer

Hi @amanda51 

 

I am so greatly sorry to hear about your loss of your beautiful Ava. I am so glad you reached out to our community. And I hope if there are other parents that may be in the community they can comment below and know they are sharing in a supportive and caring community. 

 

You may already know about this organisation, but if you did not, here are the details of Compassionate Friends who specifically offer support to those who have lost a child.

Take care,

Felicity
