The first thing I would say is that the story that you told painted you too clearly as the villain.

You don't want to bear the burden of the children that you serve so intently that it just drives you into the ground,

because then you're another person in need of care.

Driving yourself into the ground is not a good solution.

You have less time for many things than you think. You should be aware of that and grateful and await and minimize the stupidity and unnecessary suffering. You focus on making the pathway that you have to walk, painful as it is, the least like hell it can possibly be.

It's a moral requirement not to lose faith.

You try to be grateful for the brief existence of your son, despite the pain of his loss.

There's an old idea that God walks with us when we're suffering.

Although we're called upon to bear the utter catastrophe

of mortality and malevolence, the spirit that resides at the bottom of being itself is there

with us as we suffer. Thank you to everybody who brought these serious concerns forward in such a thoughtful

This episode is going to be tough. We're dealing with people who are experiencing serious levels

of tragedy. I'm extremely grateful to be here to help.

Hopefully it helps you guys too. We have a serious lineup of colors today. This might get heavy.

We're going to start with Erica in Tennessee.

stage four colorectal cancer diagnosis at the age of 34. We have been fighting that for seven and a half years now.
