Life is challenging and sometimes life is stage IV metastatic cancer challenging. So how can we make it through all that life throws at us? Jane Jeuland is the Chaplain in the Palliative Care Program at Smilow Cancer Hospital. Since 2011 she listened as people with life-limiting cancer have process their living, dying, healing and not healing and their faith, spirituality, and beliefs. Over the years, Jane has been so impacted by her patients’ profound, unique, and important perspectives on how to thrive through all that life brings and has often thought that these incredible nuggets of truth should be available for other patients, caregivers, clinicians, and really any human making their way through life. In this podcast, some episodes will be patients, caregivers, or clinicians reading their stories that they have carefully and thoughtfully crafted. Other episodes will be interviews that will welcome you into the lives of these beautiful individuals and the strategies and resources they have used to survive and even thrive in the midst of it all.
