Episode 118: Facing the Chapter That Feels Like an Ending

Facing the Chapter That Feels Like an Ending | The Cancer Journey Podcast | Episode 118Life is fragile. We say that a lot in this work. This week, we recorded from inside it.Someone in our community got news that the medical system has done all it can. We felt that with them. This episode came the next day.In this conversation, we talk about what it actually means to face mortality on a cancer journey. Why it's so hard to say the real things when the people around you need you to stay positive. What Shariann found when she went looking for somewhere safe to talk about dying and kept coming up empty. Why lived experience and trained capacity aren't the same thing, and why both matter. How Cancer Journey Coaches walk with clients through every chapter, including the ones that feel like an ending. What it means to be attached to this life and sit with the fear of losing it.This is the kind of conversation that doesn't happen enough. We hope it gives you somewhere to put some of what you've been carrying.New episodes every week.
