August 06, 2024 Rob Wentz - Embracing Laughter In The Face Of Loss
In this episode of I’m Fine, It’s Fine, Melanie and Amber catch up with comedian Rob Wentz who opens up about his mom’s glioblastoma brain cancer diagnosis. Since February 2024, Rob has been navigating this emotional journey by using humor, writing jokes, and preparing himself for the inevitable call that she’s passed.
Rob shares the experience of saying goodbye to his mom, remembering her as the hardest-working, most successful businesswoman he knew, who was also deeply caring and funny. Her outlook on life allowed him to continue living without getting stuck in waiting, and her peaceful acceptance of her diagnosis has helped him find laughter even in the darkness. Recorded just four days before she passed away, this conversation is a touching mix of raw honesty and humor.
Dedicated to the memory of Susan Wentz
