PATIENT 2 CAREGIVER: Live Life Like Jim (part 2️⃣)


Listen Later

This is part ✌️ of my incredible conversion with my friend, Kristina Burke, on navigating the complexities of a cancer diagnosis as both a patient & caregiver (if you missed part ☝️- start there!). Trigger alert, this is a heartbreaking but very important conversation. 💔 


Kristina was battling her own breast cancer diagnosis when her beloved husband, Jim Burke, a young, previously healthy, renowned chef at Wm. Mulherin & Sons, was diagnosed with a rare form of metastatic lung cancer (EGFR positive). 🥺


We reflect on how they navigated cancer together with their young family, & Kristina offers incredible insight on how to advocate for yourself & others. Sadly, Jim lost his 2-year battle with lung cancer a few months back at the age of 49. 🥺😭


We reflect on Jim’s life, legacy, moving through grief, & how the Philadelphia culinary community came together to support Team Burke. Trust me, you won’t want to miss it. 😘


I am truly grateful to Kristina for sharing their incredible story and hope you benefit from this conversation. ❤️‍🩹


xoxo
