Gold Ribbon Conversations - The podcast that supports those fighting Childhood Cancer.


This episode discusses the loss of a child to cancer.

While this conversation is essential for families who have experienced this grief - please protect your emotional wellbeing. 


Anam Cara Bereavement Support


In todays episode I'm joined by author of the Adam’s Cloud books Benji Bennett.

Benji's son Adam died of a brain tumour aged 4 in 2007. 

Through his grief Benji channeled his emotion into  creating the immensely successful and beautiful Adam's Cloud series of books as a way to encourage parents to spend quality time with their children. 


Here we talk about the legacy of grief. 

How as parents they changed. How they supported their children through loss. 

And how Benji made a very clear decision about how he wanted to live life after Adam.
