195 | Myths & Cliches of Grief (Part One) with Austin DeArmond

March 20, 2024 08:00 - 33 minutes - 23.2 MB

"Time heals all wounds."  "God will never give you more than you can handle."  "The lessening of pain indicates a lessening of love."  Have you heard any of these unhelpful statments since you experienced the loss of a child?  If so, you're not alone.  In our western culture, we have a tendency to minimize grief, to gloss over it with glib platitudes.  In today's episode, Austin DeArmond and I have a great conversation in which we discuss and debunk ten of these myths and cliches.  Be su...

March 20, 2024 07:00 - 4 minutes - 2.93 MB

When our daughter Hannah was first admitted to Arkansas Children's Hospital sixteen years ago, I was called down to the financial office and encouraged to fill out an application for TEFRA, a supplemental insurance program for children with significant medical needs or disabilities.  I really didn't think we would need it (because in my mind Hannah was going to be fine!), but I completed the paperwork anyway.  A year later, when it was just about to expire, I filled it out again, and it was ...

Bonus 33 | Temodar

March 18, 2024 08:00 - 3 minutes - 2.63 MB

Sixteen years ago this evening, our daughter Hannah took the first dose of the chemotherapy drug that we hoped would cure her cancer.  The day before, we had been regaled once again with a litany of possible side effects of this treatment, but we agreed those would be worth it if the drug was effective.  Imagine my dismay when I pulled up to the pharmacy window only to be told that a five-day supply would be $33,000!  Today's bonus episode describes our experience with the drug known as Temo...

March 15, 2024 08:00 - 2 minutes - 1.77 MB

Sixteen years ago on this date, Hannah posted this on her Facebook page:  "I am a much stronger person."  And she was, because she was trusting God to carry her through her cancer journey.  In today's bonus episode, I share how that was not her typical nature: 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 20...

Bonus 29 | Worrying About Tomorrow

March 14, 2024 08:00 - 3 minutes - 2.41 MB

During the year of Hannah's cancer battle, I made a conscious decision (only by the grace of God) to strive to live by Matthew 6:34: "Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." Our time with Hannah was too precious to spend it worrying about what the next day held. I resolved to live each day we had with her to the fullest and to savor every moment.   Thank you for joining me for another bonus episode of the While We...

March 08, 2024 09:00 - 6 minutes - 4.22 MB

February 26, 2024 09:00 - 5 minutes - 3.96 MB

Looking back at this day from the perspective that sixteen years has brought, I'm so thankful for our blissful ignorance at that point.  I'm grateful that we knew nothing of the childhood cancer world, that we could not see the rounds of radiation and chemotherapy ahead of us, and that for at least a little bit longer we thought that just maybe our lives were going to return to normal after all.  Most of all, I'm thankful we did not know that exactly one year from that date in February, Han...

February 19, 2024 09:00 - 4 minutes - 2.96 MB

February 17, 2024 10:00 - 2 minutes - 1.85 MB

As Hannah's severe headaches continued, I found myself in the pharmacy section of Walmart, searching for something that would give her some relief.  Maybe she was experiencing migraines.  I bought some Excedrin Migraine, then hurried off to my next responsibility, hoping a name brand medication would be more effective than a store brand.    Thank you for joining me for the third bonus episode of the While We're Waiting podcast in this year-long series in which I share our family’s experienc...
