“The last thing I said? That he could close his eyes”: Joy (32) faces the first Mother’s Day without son Scout (2.5), who died after a stem cell transplant

It was his only salvation: a stem cell donor. But ten days after the transplant, little Scout (2.5) contracted a fungus and died. It is the first time that mother Joy Dieussaert (32) talks about that unlikely loss. She will often shed tears during the conversation, but for all mothers who have to experience Mother’s Day without a child, she tells us what keeps her strong. “I feel very guilty because I gave birth to a sick child.”
