199. Navigating a Rare Life-Limiting Diagnosis & Life After Loss with KC Tregoning

Listen in to hear an honest and very practical, tangibly helpful conversation about navigating many different aspects of a life-limiting diagnosis and life after loss with KC Tregoning. During our time together KC shares about her son Alan and what it was like to receive a life-limiting diagnosis for him – how she navigated the medical system, what she learned about how to best naviagate a very rare diagnosis, questions to ask your team and even how she kept all the information from the plethora of appointments organized in a way that made it all just a little easier. We talk about finding purpose after experiencing loss and what it looked like for her to build community. KC shares what her faith looked like in this season and many of the ways God showed up to remind her of His great love for her even amidst the unthinkable. Lastly, we spend some time talking about how to love a grieving mom and dad.   I am so grateful for KC’s wisdom and very practical advice throughout our time together – I am sure that no matter your story, this episode is going to bless you.     THIS EPISODE IS IN LOVING MEMORY OF TRIPPER CHARLES.  Tripper was born on March 17, 2018.
