The Deep C Podcast is for families, caregivers, friends and community who are supporting a child through a cancer diagnosis.

While every ounce of your being is used to carry your child, this podcast is here to carry you.When you're bedside at the hospital, sitting in a waiting room for the millionth appointment, or just need to feel like you're not alone in this dark place - come find us.

Our conversations will match the ones you're already having in your head. No topic is off limits, no fear is kept hidden. We speak to parents and caregivers at every stage of a diagnosis - families who are NED and families who are bereaved - diving deep into their reflections and personal accounts of how they walked (sometimes crawled) through their child's cancer diagnosis.

This is not a medical podcast, we don't discuss chemo cocktails or treatment plans. You already talk about that enough. This podcast is where you come for conversations between people JUST like you: scared, tired, determined, and fierce as hell.

How It Appears vs How It Is - Bereaved Mom Tristin Shares The Realities of Living Through Loss

Tristin's daughter Kinley was diagnosed with a malignant rhabdoid tumor at four months old, and nine weeks into treatment, were told Kinley's cancer was incurable. She passed at seven months old. In our conversation today, we explore the complexities of navigating personal relationships and conversations in the context of pediatric oncology. We discuss the emotional weight of sharing Kinley's story, the importance of community support, and the challenges of maintaining privacy regarding a child's diagnosis. Tristin shares her deeply personal journey through caregiving, navigating medical challenges, and the emotional complexities of grief after the loss of Kinley. The discussion highlights the importance of connection in caregiving, the impact of receiving a life-altering diagnosis, and the coping strategies that have helped her navigate her grief. Tristin also shares her journey of navigating motherhood after the loss of Kinley, the importance of having a supportive community, the connection she feels between her living children and Kinley, and the complexities of grief. Tristin emphasizes the need for bereaved parents to find connections with others who understand their experiences and the balance of living a heavy life while still finding joy.
