In this conversation, Margo shares the lessons she learned from her son, Jimmy, as he battled brain cancer for eight long years. 

His cancer took his life at the young age of 21. What is a little different about Margo's share is that, prior to her son's death, loved ones close to her who had passed had all lived long lives; close to or in their 100s. 

Her own father had passed away, also peacefully, in his home. The loss of her son jolted her beliefs around death and also taught her the importance of having hope to the very end. 

Margo also shares some practical things that others did that helped her family get through the years of treatments Jimmy went through and after he died. 

We also chat about the importance of grief communication in the workplace, and how, through Covid, it's even more important to acknowledge the struggles of those with whom we work. Also, to recognize that even happy workplace situations can cause grief, such as promotions.
