Starting the Widowed Parent Project and Parenting with Cancer with Justin Yopp & David Rosenstein

When a group of young moms died around the same time, clinicians Dr. Justin Yopp and Dr. Don Rosenstein wanted to refer their widowed spouses to a grief support group… but none existed. So they started their own.

IN THIS CONVERSATION, KATE, JUSTIN, AND DON DISCUSS:
- The grief of imagined futures
- The particular needs of parents with cancer and those of widowed parents
- How to talk to kids about cancer
- How to parent while you have cancer
Together, they uncover the magic of we.
This summer, we are re-sharing our all-time favorite episodes. While this conversation originally aired in 2020, Kate caught up with Don and Justin to get an update on what they are working on lately. You won’t want to miss their important (and practical!) update.

I loved our oncologist so much for how well she managed my late husband's care and for her tenacity. But I so wish she'd been able to talk with us about how things might go if treatment was not successful. I asked questions, almost confrontationally, and she just.couldn't.do.it. Since then, I've thought that all oncologists should have required CMEs with a solid hospice RN who could walk them through that reality. This episode is filled with gentle truths of the life we actually have. Thank you

Doctors are often too afraid to say out loud, you are dying and to talk about quality of life. It's scary but they need to be honest and brave so families can prepare.
