After losing her husband, Maria Quiban decided to offer her story through her powerful book, You Can\\u2019t Do It Alone, where she shares insights on how to navigate grief as a caregiver and find the support that will carry you through your darkest of times.

Her book gave me so much clarity in my journey of learning about grief, and I am excited to introduce you to Maria, who is a successful meteorologist, mother, and has a powerful story that you will not soon forget.

Today we talk about why Maria and her husband were honest from the very beginning with their young three-year-old son about the fatal cancer diagnosis that his father had. She shares with us how we as parents can navigate difficult conversations with children in a language that they will understand. She also retells a powerful story about advice that Joe Biden gave her about his experience with grief.

We dig into the grief of receiving a diagnosis,\\xa0 how we can hold on to hope through pain, and what it looks like to balance \\u2018hoping for the best\\u2019 and letting go. Maria also gives fantastic insight on how to be a support to a loved one who is passing all why finding support as a caregiver so you are not left depleted.\\xa0

Maria shares that this journey is one that she can look back on with gratitude and we hope that as you navigate your own grief journey her words bring you hope.
