S9E5: Losing a Child to Cancer (Rebecca Fogarty)

Arguably the biggest curveball life can throw at us as parents is losing our child. On today’s podcast, we hear from Rebecca Fogarty, who lost her son Leo to cancer shortly before his 4th birthday. With candour and honesty, Bec walks us through the challenges of his illness and the social isolation it created for her and her husband as they travelled to a hospital hundreds of miles away in order to access treatment for Leo. She talks movingly about his death and the whirlwind of emotions at that time, but also of the faithfulness of God throughout everything they experienced. Bec is a psychologist and lives in Tasmania, Australia with her husband, son and daughter. We would be so grateful for your partnership with us as we produce this podcast.
