Meredith’s new cancer journey
Meredith searched for answers to her son’s symptoms for six months until he was diagnosed with a brain tumour. Five months later, Benjamin died. He was six-years-old.
As Meredith navigates bereavement, she tells us how she’s living with grief and why roller skates play a part. Meredith says, “Sharing my story is not going to change anything for Benjamin and I, but it might change something for another parent. That’s a gift that I can give to other people.”
