And I think one of the really difficult things about facing a parent who has lost a child is If you think anyone who's lost anyone, but particularly in parental bereavement, is that you cannot make it better. There is no betterment of this. There's no, it's going to get better. She's not coming back.

What's easier, though, is when people aren't afraid of mentioning her name or reminding me of a story or telling me something I didn't know that she'd told them or that she'd done for them. It's very hard when people cry to me and I am a little bit at a loss as to where I fit in their grief.

My sense is that the medical establishment sees the death of a child as a failure. Their failure, the doctor's failure. As the doctor's failure, yeah. I think there is a reluctance to face the idea that medicine has limits. Children's hospitals really are always advertising that they will cure children.

And as a result, they don't invest in psychoemotional care for the end of life or the transition from curative care into maintenance care and then finally end of life care, which means that families are left sort of reading tea leaves, if you will, you know, trying to figure out between the lines of what is being said, what's truly happening and

When I was told that Orly's cancer was incurable, hearing incurable didn't necessarily translate to me to, and now she'll die. I think it was very hard to absorb, but it also went somewhat unspoken. And part of the reason why it's so hard to absorb is that you sort of have to hear it again and again because it feels so catastrophically impossible to that you can't fight it.

Especially because I had spent so much time researching. I'm a journalist. I sort of applied all those journalistic skills. I read every paper. I made myself into an expert in liver cancer, as did her dad, Ian. We thought we could outsmart cancer in some way.

But it turned out the type of cancer that Orly had, hepatoblastoma, which is typically seen in toddlers, does not have a good cure rate for children who are older. They do very well under the age of three. And then older children, Orly was 10 at diagnosis, they don't tend to survive.
