Sharon Bulger's nine-year-old son Cameron was in Canuck Place for palliative care. After he died, Canuck Place continued to provide support for the family, including play therapy for Zach, Bulger's youngest son.
Sharon, Glenn, and Zach Bulger sit with a photo of Cameron, who died in 2020.Zach Bulger goes into the play room at Canuck Place Children's Hospice in Vancouver, and picks from an assortment of toys.
"Over time, you could find that he started to develop a language. He started to develop words that would express actual feelings," Bulger toldZach picks through the toys he's going to play with as his therapist Emily Watson watches at Canuck Place Children's Hospice in Vancouver. St. Louis says he used to only be able to treat children who were ages nine and up with talk therapy. But play therapy has allowed him to work with younger children, including kids as young as two, all the way to 16. It's even effective with adults, he said.Sharon Bulger says her eldest son loved hockey, playing with Beyblades and watching Marvel movies.
"Zach always went in and obliged and gave him a big squeeze and they would giggle. And that was Cameron. He loved his brother," said Bulger. "I was handed a bowl of lemons, and I had to figure out how to navigate that and to do that in a way that was going to bring him the best days no matter what," said Bulger.
"When Cameron died, Zachariah asked us probably for about six months, almost every day, 'Please tell me today he's coming back. Why can't he come back? Please, can we go to the gravesite and dig him up? We need to bring him back,'" said Bulger.
