About Me
- ^Christian Showers^
- Christian was dx with a brain tumor in Oct. 2005 ten days after his 2nd bday. Since then he has been through 3 brain surgeries for tumor removal,radiation and chemo twice. He was a tough little guy and fought as long and hard as he could but he earned my wings on March 23rd 2008 easter sunday, He just could not fight any longer. You are gone our sweet boy but never FORGOTTEN! We love and miss you with all our hearts. Forever 4.

Amy,
I think of you all often, especially at this time of year. I can't imagine how difficult each day must be. I wish there were words of comfort to offer. The pics of Carter are beautiful. You're a talented photographer! I received this email today from camp good days. Perhaps its something you might be interested in joining to help ease your pain. Hugs to you all.

Hi Families,
Please see information below for a support group for parents who have lost a child to cancer. I am sending this out to ALL Camp Good Days families, so that if you know parents who can benefit from this, you could forward this their way. Please let me know if you have any questions, although CGD is not running this group, I will gladly forward your question/comment to Essential Care.
Essential Care for Children, Roswell Park Institute, and Woman and Children’s Hospital of Buffalo presents:
Supporting Parents Who Lost a
Child To Cancer
When: November 3rd
Time: 7 p.m. - 9 p.m.
Place: Life Transitions and Essential Care for Children Building
150 Bennett Road, Cheektowaga, N.Y. 14227
After listening to the many requests to start a bereavement group that is dedicated solely to families who have lost a child after a journey battling cancer, the Essential Care Program has been able to partner with RPCI and WCHOB to honor your needs.
We will never pretend to understand your loss but we can offer families a place to meet with other families that understand your journey.
Surviving the Death of Your Child is no doubt the most difficult part of your life.
We would like to offer a group to be molded by parents who have lost a child, provide us with the knowledge of what you need to continue to survive and give us the opportunity to support and assist you in any way possible. This is a group that will be developed, attended by, and molded by you, the survivors.
Facilitators will provide structure and support to family members. The theme of each group will be dictated by your needs, the group will be named by you and created by facilitators based on what you disclose are your needs at each group.
Please join us to honor the lives of your children and the memories that they have given you by helping us to take care of you, their family.
Please bring a photo of your child to the group to share and honor their beautiful lives!!!
