Grief in Brief Podcast: Turning Grief into Action

Zach was 16 when he died of Osteosarcoma. Zach loved life, lived it to its fullest and the diagnosis left the Walls facing “prereavement”. Prereavement encompasses three things;

  1. Anticipatory grief, these are feelings of grief and loss we may come to experience.
  2. We change in relation to the loss. How we look at all things will be different now.
  3. Using our limited time between diagnosis and death in ways that matter.

As a way to honor their son and carry his loss forward with them, the Wall’s developed Zach’s Bridge. Zach’s Bridge helps ease the journey by providing 1:1 peer support for advanced and bereaved pediatric cancer parents and caregivers. This kind of support delivered from those who have walked those tragic steps can give a family comfort and time to focus on what truly matters.
