Life after the death of a child to CF

Life after the death of a child to CF

If you lose a child to CF, what does that do to parents? To their identity? And their place in the CF community. These are hard discussions to have, but for a couple years now Peggy Hawkins has want to share her story on this podcast.

Peggy talks about the toll waiting for a transplant takes on a family. One of the issues was that one of them always had to work, in this case it was her husband, so she stayed with Stephen.

Peggy and her husband are the parents of three men. She lives in South Carolina now but was born and raised in Detroit. Peggy worked as a nurse for 43 years (not in CF).

Their oldest son Chris is 37 and their youngest is 31 years old. Stephen who died from complications of CF was the middle child. He died at 29 years old.

To get in touch with Peggy you can email her here: stephen65roses@aol.com
