Nine years ago Maria Kilcommins was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. In today’s episode Maria tells us about her personal journey and that of her 4 kids and husband. 

Amongst other things she tells us about:  

  • Her search for answers

  • How as a family they journeyed together

  • As a natural pessimist how she became an optimist.

  • Her journey from not needing faith to someone who found acceptance and peace in prayer.
