Hello everyone, I’d like to introduce myself. My name is Laura and I am a new Online Community Volunteer.
My mum (who I was extremely close to) died from terminal cancer in 2014 after a very quick diagnosis and decline. I was 35 with extremely young children and it has, without doubt, been the most challenging time of my life to date.
I began volunteering with Marie Curie about 18 months ago. As I approached the 10 year anniversary of my Mum’s death it felt really important to use my experience in a positive way to help others.
If you find yourself in a similar situation or would like to talk about anything related to bereavement or terminal illness then please do reach out and I am here to listen and support in any way I can.
Warmest wishes,
Laura
Member of the Marie Curie Online Community Team
