An Oncology Nurse's Journey of Grief and Loss: Navigating Sibling Loss , Knowledge, and Devastation

In this episode, of The Broken Pack: Stories of Adult Sibling Loss,  surviving sibling Cally Marzolf-Adams, an oncology nurse shares her difficult sibling loss story of losing her sister, Sarah, to metastatic pancreatic cancer.

Through her conversation with Dr. Dean, Cally shares her profound story of love, loss, and heartbreas, highlighting the challenges and coping mechanisms involved. Her knowledge as an oncology nurse both prepared her and haunted her as she watched her sister decline, eventually dying from the illness.

Together with our host and fellow sibling loss survivor, Dr. Angela Dean, they discuss out-of-order loss, Cally's relationship with Sarah who she described as a kind, calming, soul, memories, seeking help in grief, and so much more.

Also mentioned in this episode was Young Adult Survivors United, an organization whose mission is to help young adult cancer survivors and caregivers/co-survivors cope and thrive by providing emotional, social, and financial support. For more information on this organization please see https://yasurvivors.org/about/.

As a child, Molly Pratt had a fear of medical facilities.  Today, you'll hear how her perspective changed.  She's now a BSN, RN in Pediatrics at Beaumont Children's at Corewell Health's Beaumont Hospital, Royal Oak, Michigan.

Molly was an active 16 year-old high school student when she was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma.  Her first round of treatment involved outpatient chemotherapy, but she eventually needed a bone marrow transplant, which she received in 2017.  Her priorities shifted from extracurricular activities and college tours to her inpatient recovery.

But her hospital stay changed her perspective. Her nurses became her social circle, playing card games with them late at night.  Inspired by her care, she decided to follow in their footsteps.  She now provides the same level of compassion to the kids she works with.  She's able to relate to their experiences, having been through the process herself.  In fact, she just had her final 6 month checkup, and she got to spend time with her patients in clinic, as a patient herself.

Molly leaves us with inspiring advice about not taking any day for granted, and having the confidence to accomplish whatever it is you set your mind to.

Patricia and Marty, Marie's parents thought they were doing the right thing and being very responsible and conscientious until one comment from someone they respected and  admired rocked their world. That was an unfortunate yet fortunate life changing experience, one that Marie Manuchehri and her family have built their life's path  around to this day.

Marie believes her intuitive abilities go back a few generations beginning with her great grandmother who was  Native American. To this day, Marie helps clients all over the world using her extensive background as an oncology nurse, energy intuitive, energy medicine practitioner, etc.

You can listen to/stream  "Where Energy and Medicine Meet" , Marie's weekly radio show Thursdays at noon EST/9amPST on KKNW 1150 AM . It's one hour of healing, positive suggestions and information about chakras and 'spirit guides'. Yes did you know we all have spirit guides!  I highly recommend Marie's book "Intuitive-Self Healing-Achieve Balance And Wellness Through The Body's Energy Center"

Marie's mother raised the children on her own after a number of years and studied and worked as  a "Re-evaluation Counselor .  Her mother was always very positive and  assured the kids that things were going to work out just fine, even during tough times. And that was  always very comforting to the kids.
