Six years ago on NYE I was blissfully unaware of how soon my Maeve would be lost to #cancer and how awful 2019 would be, stricken with a new and now permanent #grief. I snapped this photo of her on the train and now I treasure these small memories. They let me carry her into 2025. 💙 #childloss

It’s very exciting to see this site takeoff as the other descends into horror. In that vein, I’m sharing a moment of joy with a new piece of art we just bought 😊

Five years ago today was Maeve’s 2nd birthday. She’d be 7. #Cancer took her just two months later in Mar ‘19. The horror of #childloss is beyond imagining, the #grief all encompassing. We miss her deeply and dream of what her life could’ve been. Life is fragile. 💙

Spring has definitely sprung in Melbourne and, despite being somewhat over manicured, Carlton Gardens is still one of my fav spots such a beautiful day 😊

Lovely to meet everybody here! For my first post I thought I’d do a little shameless self promotion of my little book on the history of collecting cancer data for epidemiology! Cancer Data for Good! link.springer.com/book/10.1007...
