Parenting a child who has #BloodCancer is an experience that changes you forever. And losing that child causes a deep pain that few understand. At 3, Phil endured treatment variations for his leukemia until all reasonable options were exhausted. And after almost 4 years of this, he passed away. “Being Phil's mother is a gift I am eternally grateful for. Some days, I still struggle with the reality that we will never understand why this happened.” -Katie, Phil’s mom No one should have to endure the heartbreak of losing a child to blood cancer. 💔 On #NationalBereavedParentsDay, we honor those who have suffered this incredible loss, like Katie, and remember the lives of their babies. Katie takes “Phil time” to remember her sweet boy and shares his story as an LLS Dare to Dream Ambassador, hoping to continue the efforts to transform treatment and care for all kids with blood cancer.

1moHow heartbreaking! No child should ever have to endure this evil disease. I cannot comprehend the pain his parents especially his mother went through. It is horrendous and that pain will never go away. I pray for each parent facing this horror of what their little baby has to go through and the loss they must try to cope with. 🙏
