Chris Schuler is a fierce advocate for the brain cancer community, a journey that found him due to his experience losing his father to glioblastoma.
My take away from my interview with Chris is his perspective on his anticipatory grief compared to his mother’s traumatic grief after his dad’s death. The way Chris views the gift he was given during his dad’s illness is an eye-opening take away.
A child of adoption, Chris feels he was meant to be adopted by the Schuler’s, just as he was meant to help his mom care for his dad. His story on care-giving is beautifully told.
