Samantha’s mom Shari was diagnosed with terminal ocular melanoma at 55 years old. Samantha soon quit her job to be her mom’s caretaker, and they were both intentional about making the most of their relationship and living each day to the fullest. Samantha found walking alongside her mom during and to the end of her life to be the most profound and honorable experience she will ever have and continues to reflect on that time now that her mom is gone.
Samantha and Shari read The Daily Stoic each morning over coffee, which can be found here: https://dailystoic.com/
