I wanted to end this podcast series on a high note, with some hope and generosity sprinkled in just in time for the holidays . Here’s the last episode in my podcast series, generosity.
I wrote this episode in the middle of treatments, back in April 2023. At the time I wasn’t sure what this project would look like, but I knew I wanted to share my story in a way that was as real and honest as possible so others wouldn’t feel alone in their journeys. It’s been a tough one to reread and edit for the podcast, and I’ve chosen to keep it very raw. Music: Never Alone by Infraction
This episode explores the complicated nature of a friendship Alan made in the hospital. Some names have been changed to protect anonymity. Music: Never Alone by Infraction
In this episode I’ll share some of the less than pleasant experiences Alan had with healthcare workers while I wasn’t around. Music: Never Alone by Infraction
In this episode I discuss Alan’s trip to the ICU, and my own struggles with empathy for his situation while I focused on the need for the doctors to do whatever needed to be done to keep him alive. Music is the song Never Alone by Infraction
This story talks about coming to terms with the fact that the cancer Alan had was both highly treatable and extremely life threatening. It also shows one of my many breakdowns I had throughout the process of being a caregiver. Music: Never Alone, by Infraction
