In this episode brain cancer survivor, Wendy Santana, joins us again but this time she's a guest interviewer. As you may recall, Wendy is known in the brain tumor community (and beyond) for the work she does with her blog, 2nd Chance 2 Live. Wendy interviews Maria Quiban Whitesell of “Good Day LA/FOX 11 Morning News” and author of You Can't Do It Alone: A Widow's Journey Through Loss, Grief and Life After. In 2014, following a trip to Paris where her husband, Sean, began displaying odd behaviors Maria insisted that he visit a doctor. Within two weeks of returning home, Sean had an MRI and soon after received the news that would turn their life upside down. Sean had Glioblastoma – the deadliest form of brain cancer! Their son Gus was only three-years-old. Thrust into the role of primary caregiver, Maria discusses how she and Sean made the decision to choose JOY and why that was so important for Gus. Together with their family, they made the last 18 months of Sean's life count in every way possible by embracing the good days, laughing, and finding purpose. In fact, they did more living during those 18 months than many of us do in 18 years. Tune in to hear the great tips Maria shares about dealing with grief, finding a support system, and preparing children for the difficult conversations surrounding illness and death. Plus, you'll also discover the special role that Bruce Springsteen played in Maria and Sean's love story.
