'Just Keep livin' is Jess Ronne's motto.
Already a mom of 4, including a son with profound special needs, Jess lost her husband Jason to brain cancer.
At the same time 1000 miles away Ryan Ronne, a dad of three, lost his wife Kaci to a brain tumour.
Encouraged to connect by a total stranger, Jess and Ryan shared their experiences, supported and helped each other and fell in love.
Jess is now mom to a blended family with 8 children including a special needs mama to her 16 year old son Luke. Not to mention a wife, author, caregiver advocate, podcast host and soon to be featured in the documentary, UNSEEN, How we're failing caregivers and why this matters.
This is Jess Plus The Mess with a conversation about love, trust, faith, grief, anger, boundaries, families and brisket!
