What did you think of this episode?

In this episode, Jessica shares the story of losing her mom after a lung cancer diagnosis in 2013.

She reflects on the early days after the diagnosis, the way fear showed up as a need for control, and the quiet grief that began long before her mom was gone. Jessica talks honestly about caregiving, anticipatory grief, and what it’s like to lose the person you talked to every single day.

This episode isn’t about doing grief “right.” It’s about what it looks like to love someone the best you can when you don’t yet know what you’ll wish you had done differently.

If you’ve lost a parent, are caring for someone who’s sick, or are carrying regret alongside grief, this conversation is for you.
