Is there Purpose to Death? (75 days since diagnosis)

What purpose does Rhonda’s impending death have? What is the best ‘value’ to put on death? This episode we also find out why Rhonda hates the fact people will say, ‘At least she is not in pain anymore’, after she dies. And why the phrase, ‘life goes on’, hurts so much. Plus, preparation to tell the grandkids about cancer begins.

We also hear how Rhonda’s panic attacks are now a metaphor for her cancer situation. Plus a bonus extra ‘off-mic’ moment that captures some of the deep emotions of ‘life going on’ around a terminal cancer patient.

God is Going to Heal Me (79 days since diagnosis)

As Rhonda's voice gets weaker with the cancer taking more of a hold - this episode is all about the understanding of the closeness of death and the opportunity God has (if he wishes) to heal.

Rhonda is more hopeful than she has been recently. This discussion of healing has been the topic around the family for the last few days. And so it has become the focus of this episode too. It also covers how family members are approaching this period in different ways.
