Julie Vandingenen became a caregiver to her fiance Louis after he was diagnosed at the age of 26 with stomach cancer. He lost his cancer battle 6 months later in August 2017.

Julie talks to me about:

~turning to social media to find support during the caregiver phase and after she lost Louis.

~Travel as a healthy coping mechanism! 

~Helpful advice to caregivers like "take time to yourself"

~ How she started Lovingly Box, a care package company, in December 2019 as a way to find more meaning and purpose in her life and to help others.

~Finding love again!

~The importance of journaling as an outlet.

~ contemplating spirituality and after-life when we lose a loved one.
