In this chapter of Open Book, I’m joined by Jim Williams, who discusses his book 'Getting Thru: The Worst Possible Thing', inspired by his son Kyle's battle with neuroblastoma.
Jim shares the devastating journey of his son’s diagnosis, subsequent fight with cancer, and the profound lessons of strength, resilience, and hope learned through Kyle's journey. The discussion also covers Jim's efforts to support pediatric cancer research through 'Cookies for Kids' Cancer' and the foundational principles of the B.E.R.G.S. mindset—Belief, Empathy, Resilience, Gratitude, and Service—that helped him navigate the grieving process.
This episode is a heartfelt exploration of coping with loss, the impact of one child's fight against cancer on his family, and the legacy that Kyle leaves behind.
