Finding Grace in the Unthinkable: A Journey from Fear to Presence

I’m honored this week to share this deeply personal story from my friend Diana Funk, who reminds us that our most challenging transitions often become our greatest teachers. She shows  us what it truly means to be present and compassionate in the face of the unthinkable.

On her husband's 50th birthday, Diana Funk received news that changed everything: he was given a rare cancer diagnosis that would later become stage IV and incurable. What began as her worst nightmare became an unexpected teacher in presence, compassion, and what it truly means to be alive.
