Summary

While we all experience loss, going through grief can feel very lonely. Dr. Lucy Kalanithi felt that way after her husband died, leaving her with their young daughter. Instead of turning away from the pain, Dr. Kalanithi faced her grief head-on. She published his memoir, When Breath Becomes Air, which taught her that looking at hardship differently can help us find resilience. On today's episode of Sickboy Podcast, she joins the boys for a warm conversation about learning to live with grief and finding hope.
