‘My husband has been living with brain cancer for the past 12 years. But 15 months ago his diagnosis took a turn and I am now juggling 3 young children, an adult child, a home, a business and now my husband's health needs.’



Hello, and welcome to When Sh!t Gets Real. I'm Sarah and this is a very real look at the ups and downs of turning from a partner within a relationship into the caregiver to a terminally ill partner. My husband has been living with brain cancer for the past 12 years. But 15 months ago his diagnosis took a turn and I am now juggling (and dropping a lot of balls) 3 young children, an adult child, a home, a business and now my husband's health needs. Each episode I, along with my cohost of the week, discuss what has been going on in our family's world. I also open up discussions about various topics such as grief, guilt, resentment and how to you talk to your children about illness and death. I hope to offer support and validation to the struggles that are so very real and so very hard to talk about.
