Keanu
Grief for bereaved parents can be particularly complex. Often filled with a mix of sorrow, anger and longing because it’s unnatural for a child to die before their parent. Many parents experience profound isolation and struggle to find meaning or purpose. Not only because we have experienced the unimaginable, but also lose an enormous piece of ourselves.
Keanu’s Korner is dedicated to upholding and sharing the Love, Strength and Good Vibes that I absorbed from Keanu (Kiki) because it was not designed to end when he died. Kiki’s life and legacy has led my belief that I can overcome even the most daunting challenges, like the one we are facing in the pediatric brain tumor community. Through my sadness and pain lies a powerful motivator in supporting the relentless pursuit of one day getting rid of this dreaded disease. It is my uncompromising determination and love for my family that is essential in my healing process.
I have learned to accept that healing is moment by moment and doesn’t always feel good. But with focus, support, advocacy and community, the possibilities of a brighter future and Keanu’s Legend are endless.
Love, Strength and Good Vibes!
Kris, Keanu’s mom
