Supporting Grieving Friends | Episode 10

Tracey Fast of Boo Boo’s Beanie’s joins Nicole on the podcast today. Tracey’s youngest daughter was diagnosed with cancer when she was just 9 years old and fortunately, she has had a positive outcome and is thriving today. But, during her time in the hospital with her daughter, Tracey and her family were surrounded by friends who were facing devastating outcomes. So, today we’re focusing on how to support your grieving friends. We chat through her time in the hospital, her methods of coping, tactical gift ideas for friends and the little idea that turned into a major passion project that is currently helping pediatric oncology patients in Canada and the United States.
