On this episode, we asked Papa Steve to guest co-host as we speak to Ian and Kate, parents to Gracie who was diagnosed at 3 years old with neuroblastoma and who passed only a short 14 months later at 4 years old in 2018.
Griefist Roxanne Covillo shares about her son Ryan, diagnosed at 8 years old in 1994, with anaplastic astrocytoma. She takes us on a life adventure, sharing immaculate details 25 years later.
In Part 2, Kris shares about coping after Anna's passing, and motivating her to do things in Anna's honor. Visit annaspals.org to follow this incredible mother's journey to help other families.
We close this episode up with Papa Steve where he talks us through the weight he bears proudly, but he wouldn't have it any other way.
