About this episode

Marian Hastings shares her experience of losing her husband to cholangiocarcinoma and the challenges of caring for someone with a terminal illness.

This week I sit down with Marian Hastings who shares the loss of her husband James to cholangiocarcinoma (bile duct cancer) . Marian speaks openly about the devastating reality of a diagnosis with so few treatment options, the fight they faced together, and the heartbreak of knowing there was very little hope. She reflects on the love they shared, the challenges of caring for someone through terminal illness, and the incredible compassion and support they received from hospice care. This is a deeply moving conversation about love, courage, anticipatory grief, and the comfort that compassionate care can bring during life's hardest moments. 馃帶 Podcast Listener Offer I've partnered with BetterHelp to offer listeners 10% off their first month of online therapy . 馃憠 http://betterhelp.com/familyflowers
