In this section we look at how families may feel in the first few weeks and months after a child has died. We look at worries and fears that are shared by many families and how to recognise when your other children may need extra help with coping.
Izzy Darnes was 21 years old when she was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) in June 2025. Here, she tells us about the impact of her cancer, what has helped her, and offers advice to others.

Abby Maxwell was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma in January 2023 when she was 22 years old. Here, she shares her story to help raise awareness of the signs and symptoms of cancer in young people, and its impact.
Daniella Capitas Webster was diagnosed with a rare form of ovarian cancer, called mucinous ovarian cancer, aged 22 in June 2023. Here, she tells us about her long journey to diagnosis, a complicated treatment plan, and why she wants to use her voice to encourage others to advocate for themselves.
In this section we consider what happens when you face birthdays, other festivals and anniversaries of the diagnosis and when your child died. We suggest what has been found to be helpful by other families, what they have done to mark special occasions and how to think about all the different members of the family.
