S4 June Bonus: Krystal Clark lived a very real - but fictional - life.
Krystal Clark's story was so powerful I couldn't wait to share this one. She experienced some awful traumas as a child that made such a profound impact on her that she nearly 'checked out' of this life a little prematurely. Her first child saved her life.

S4 E43 - Mom, Wife, Cancer Survivor, Widow, and Hero - Kim Sorrelle is who I want to be when I grow up.
Nobody would choose cancer. Kim certainly wouldn't have picked cancer out of a lineup of life options, but when her husband was diagnosed shortly thereafter with pancreatic cancer and passed only six weeks later, she had a difficult road ahead of her, learning how to navigate life all over again - this time as a single mom. Not only did she figure that out, but she rediscovered what love really was, and went to Haiti after the earthquake to discover it even more deeply than before. I love this woman. She's incredible.
