Last Sunday four-year-old Kiana Amaya Niles lost her almost one year battle with brain cancer when she took her final breath in the paediatric ward of the Georgetown Public Hospital (GPH) surrounded by her mom and other relatives.
Her grieving mom Roshanna Mitchell details her months of fighting to keep her daughter alive, dealing with negative comments and now having to go on without her. I reached out to Mitchell after she shared a heartbreaking video about the painful journey she has had since her daughter was diagnosed.
“First I want to say Kiana was a very intelligent girl. She was smart and she could have communicated with you and tell you as it is… She was normal and she did everything a regular child would do,” Mitchell told me in a telephone conversation.
