In this episode of The Deep C, host Sam Taylor speaks with Carolyn, mom to four beautiful babies. When Carolyn's second baby Malcolm was 5 months old he was diagnosed with leukemia. In an instant, Carolyn and her partner were airlifted to CHEO (Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario) and admitted, during covid, while she was pregnant with their third child. For almost 6 months, Carolyn lived at CHEO with Malcolm while he received treatment. The hospital became Carolyn's home, and the nurses and doctors her family.
When Malcolm's treatment was complete and Carolyn and her partner were preparing to return home to North Bay, their team ran tests that determined Malcolm's cancer had returned, and it was terminal. Carolyn bravely and lovingly shares the days leading up to Malcolm's passing, and the hours after. She does this for families like her, who are palliative or bereaved so that they don't feel alone and can find connection in this place of pain and uncertainty. Carolyn gives words to some of the most deep and profound emotions we can feel as parents, and she does it all with a grace and honesty that will expand your entire heart.
