I became best friends with my hospice nurses (still love them from afar). I remember having deep, long conversations with them – like I’d known them my whole life. I messaged doctors more than I did anyone else. I had a meal train, cleaning service and constant help.
The morning after my husband died, the absolute chaos that is cancer was quiet. The chaos was what helped me cope. I had purpose. I had distraction. I had people to take care of. I had a monster to beat.
My family was there. People cared - but the support was different. Cancer is all-consuming. In-person and virtual visits, medical equipment everywhere, medication schedules, ER visits. When that lifestyle left – many of the supports that I leaned on went with it.
This is a gap that we strive to fill. We are more than a “one-time” service. When families are nominated for Small Moments they become part of our family.
We are forever connected by an experience that we never wanted. And by raising our children under circumstances we didn’t sign up for.
So in addition to the practical support (books, resources, experiences, meal support, and kids activities), we offer a sense of community – and community is critical in the aftermath of cancer.
Learn more about Small Moments Foundation and nominate someone who could use our support, or just a friend who gets it.🧡
