We are delighted to be able to offer this Alive Alone event to TCFV members.

The Loss of an Only Child leads one to question what purpose we now have in this world. While it is not possible to fill the void that such a loss creates, for us it was vital to find some purpose strong enough that it will sustain oneself in moving forward. While we grieve together as parents, finding purpose was an individual journey. Note: this event will be held via Zoom (when you register, the zoom link will be included in the confirmation email you receive).

Please note: you need to be a member of TCFV to attend. If not yet a member, please follow this link for more information.

The facilitators: ROGER & DEB MORONEY (Alive Alone – USA)

Our only child, Kyle Mathias Moroney, was born on the first day of spring in 1994, at St John’s Hospital in St Louis, MO. Kyle died in a car accident late on June 3, 2017, at the age of 23. He was very active in the local car community, and we were told wonderful stories of his caring nature. 
Roger recently retired from a 25-year career in radiation protection: “I draw from my experiences of being an inquisitive traveller to become a host and concierge at my Bed & Breakfast for guests, and to care for them as my son cared for his family and friends. This is my chosen mission to honour Kyle.”
Deb Moroney is a Nurse Practitioner working in Palliative Care at UT Medical Center in Knoxville, TN. She has 35+ years of nursing experience, mostly in cardiac critical care. As an NP in Palliative Care, Deb provides compassionate care for patients and families as they move through the end stages of chronic illness. It was through Kyle’s guidance that Deb was able to find her way through the process of job searching and obtaining her current position at University of Tennessee Medical Center.
Roger and Deb are both active in local and national bereaved parent organisations.
