Sitting In The Dark Together - Sarah Blackwood on Supporting a Family Through Cancer

Host Sam Taylor talks to her best friend musician Sarah Blackwood from Walk Off the Earth on all the ways friends and community can support a family through their child's cancer treatment. Sarah shares the ways they built an army of support, how they delegated tasks, and how they knew to ride the waves of treatment by sitting in the pain and fear of cancer and never trying to make it better. Sarah talks about her coping strategies through grief and trauma after her own personal loss, and how she found ways to stay active and helpful as a way to process her pain. Sarah and Sam give families take away tools to share with their own friend group, and they talk about what it's like to be so deep and dark in the ocean, and have friends who act as life preservers who pull you to the surface.https://www.walkofftheearth.com/ Hosted on Acast.
