In January, 2020, Jennifer Sanfilippo's life was upended when her husband Jim was diagnosed with a rare form of leukemia. Thrust into the cancer battle against the backdrop of a roiling Covid-19 pandemic, Jim fought for his life while Jennifer fought to protect their family from the indignities of the healthcare complex. Jennifer will discuss her book, Our Last Walk Home: Love, Cancer, and the Agony of Letting Go, an exploration of cancer treatment in the US, from diagnosis to death, through the lens of a widow's grief. You may recognize Jennifer's name from having been with us twice before hosting Death Cafes - as a certified end-of-life coach, she brings empathy, clarity, and compassion to every conversation, believing deeply in the power of human connection to ease life’s hardest moments. Check out her work recently on Spectrum News! Please register.
