What’s good about today? Whether you’re grieving or going through a tough season of life, looking at the positive in each and every day will make the hard moments more bearable.
In this thirty-third episode together, I am joined by Chris Cochran. On September 1, 2021, Chris lost his oldest son, Christian, to a rare form of cancer called Cholangiocarcino. During Christian’s year-long battle with cancer, he never complained and would often ask his family and friends, "What's GOOD about today?" This question was Christian’s daily reminder that if we did look for the good in each day, we would find it. To honor Christian’s life, Chris and his family have started the Christian Cochran Foundation and the Christian Cochran Legacy Fund through the Pittsburgh Foundation.
Throughout this episode, Chris and I have an amazing conversation about the life and loss of his oldest son Christian. Chris talks about Christian’s inspiring mindset during his battle with cancer, why they decided to start the Christian Cochran Legacy Fund after Christian passed, and how Christian taught Chris to find joy and purpose in every day.
Tune in and listen to the thirty-third episode of Grief and Happiness, and join me in learning the lessons on grief and happiness that Chris has learned from losing his son Christian.
