(Part 2) Jill Alphonso, Breast Cancer Survivor - Coming to terms with death and growing spiritually

Jill retraces the emotions that she experienced in 2023 during her cancer treatment in this episode. She candidly shares about reconciling and coming to peace with the possibility of death and reclaiming her spiritualism, largely through therapy. I reflected on why everybody avoids speaking about death: the fear that death will come simply by its mention. It becomes conversations persons living with cancer will have with themselves, and I think that is where and why spiritualism grows. When we are, to borrow a phrase Jill uses in this episode, "cracked open".
