Su Park's Motivation
- Su Park's mother passed away from stage four cancer.
- Park regrets not having deeper conversations with her mom before her death.
Difficult Diagnoses
- When someone receives a difficult diagnosis, there's often a focus on healing and medical treatments.
- This focus can overshadow important end-of-life conversations, which are often postponed until it's too late.
Timely Conversations
