Manage episode 303346199 series 2868732
We live in a society that rides the wave of Good Vibes Only, but what happens when a family is hit with the emotional turmoil of a cancer diagnosis?
In his book Cycle of Lives, David Richman details his 5000 journey to meet caregivers, doctors, patients, and loved ones as he collects and holds space for their stories and experiences.
We talk openly about the importance of sharing your vulnerability and emotion within these spaces of hardship. We discuss the why's - not wanting to be a burden, not wanting others to feel uncomfortable, feeling guilty.
David shares some of the emotional stories from his book, what it was like to hold space for families in their grief, and how beautiful the journey of 5000 miles can be.
