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.
