Video Diaries - Season 4 Episode 8 Time for Tom
A mother records with uncompromising honesty the end of the life of her 4-year-old son. Aged 10 months, Tom was diagnosed as suffering from Tay Sachs disease and given only a few years to live under constant care. Christine decided to make her diary because she wanted as many people as possible to know her son in his short life. As her family grieves, Christine is released from caring for Tom, but the new sense of freedom is overtaken by a longing to have her son back again. Her diary is a personal, powerful and deeply moving record of a family struggling to come to terms with a child's life and death.
