Episode 56: Sarah, 44 - On Living And Dying With Stage 4 Cancer

Feb 20, 2025
47:44

Before Heather’s mom and my dad passed, I was really scared of death. I’d never been in a room with a body after death before, but now I’ve seen it up close with two people I love. And it was sad and horrible but it was also really peaceful and hopeful.

Even though we’re all going to die, our current culture avoids thinking about mortality.

It feels like I’ve been surrounded by death lately, and I feel like we need to talk about it. Sarah joins us on this episode to talk about mortality and what it looks like to be living with a life-ending disease. 

Sarah talks about parenting with cancer, how her diagnosis has changed her and her family’s perspective on life and death.
