Chapter 7: Jo Story - Growing with Grief
The focus of this chapter is the profound exploration of grief as we engage in a heartfelt dialogue with Jo Story, the mother of our host, Story. Jo recounts the harrowing experience of losing her younger brother, Leroy, who succumbed to stage four colon cancer at the age of 42. This poignant conversation delves into the complexities of familial relationships, the burdens of guilt, and the emotional landscape that accompanies such a significant loss. Jo reflects on her evolving relationship with Leroy, from a nurturing sibling dynamic to the challenges posed by distance and life circumstances. Through this intimate exchange, we gain insight into the enduring impact of loss and the intricate pathways of healing that emerge in its wake.
