Sickness, grief, and loss are inevitable. All of us will experience or walk with close loved ones through sudden loss, or the complexities of a serious or life-threatening illness.

Jane Butler, our dear friend, graphic designer for Famous at Home, and Co-Founder of Near, joins us to talk about her husband's brain cancer, how they navigated two brain surgeries, and how she manages to continue to walk alongside him and her young kids as they face hard things.

In this episode, Jane shares her deep passion and wisdom about the intersection of life, marriage, parenting, serious illness, and grief and her new passion as the co-founder of Near, an organization offering support for those going through difficult times.

Here are some takeaways:

• When someone you love receives a diagnosis and you don't know what to do
• Supporting and organizing care for our hurting friends during a crisis
• How to shy away from "toxic positivity"and not dismiss someone else's pain
• The best way to show compassion for someone experiencing a crisis
• How to lead your young family in the midst of loss, grief, and difficult seasons
