Summary

Hey friends! Welcome to Girls’ Night! I absolutely love the conversation I get to share with you today. Today we’re talking about how to best care for your loved ones during hard times. To walk us through this, I invited my new friends, Christy Knutson and Jane Butler on the show! Christy is a healthcare strategist and entrepreneur. After a series of early losses, she is working to improve the end-of-life experience with a deep belief that there has to be a better way. Jane is a creative professional and entrepreneur. When Jane’s fiancé (now husband) was diagnosed with brain cancer at the young age of 24, they quickly learned the value of grief support and care in their healing. Together, as business partners, they co-founded an amazing company called Near to help change the way we offer care and support during difficult times. In this episode, they’re answering the hard questions so many of us face during our lives. Questions like… What happens when someone I love receives a diagnosis? How do I support a friend or family member who’s going through a difficult time? What do I say or not say to someone who’s experiencing grief? When do I start thinking about end-of-life planning whether it’s for my parents or for myself and how do I even approach that conversation? And the list goes on! Friends, these are heavy things to talk about, but I know we’ll all be better friends and caretakers because of it! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
