While We're Waiting® - Hope After Child Loss

One difficult aspect of Hannah's cancer journey was how it affected Bethany. You might remember that when Hannah was first diagnosed, she was in the middle of a prolonged battle against mono. Once she finally recovered from that, she jumped back into all of her school, social, and church activities.
But no matter where she went, she was no longer Bethany ... she was "the girl whose sister has cancer." We lived in a very small community, and her dad was the high school principal, so our story got a lot of attention. As Brad and I became more and more involved in Hannah's healthcare, Bethany was forced to the front lines. At 13 years old, she became the face of our family in the community.
Thank you for joining me for another bonus episode of the While We're Waiting podcast in this year-long series in which I share our family’s experiences as our teenage daughter Hannah battled glioblastoma brain cancer from February 2008 through February 2009. My desire is to process through the events of those twelve months with the perspective that 16 years has brought … and point listeners to hope in Jesus along the way.
