Summary

In this week leading up to Mother's Day, we share one of our most touching episodes yet! As a mother-daughter duo, we were thrilled to talk with Marisa Bardach Ramel. Marisa and her mother, Sally Bardach, wrote "The Goodbye Diaries" together. It’s an honest, heartfelt, touching glimpse into the relationship between a mother and daughter, when the mother is diagnosed with terminal cancer. In the book, Marisa and her mother write alternating chapters voicing their individual fears, frustrations and connection to each other. The Goodbye Diaries offers an eye-opening look into both sides of a terminal diagnosis—the one who will leave and the one who will be left behind.
