Childhood Memories, Chronic Illness, and the Cousin I Never Forgot

Episode Artwork

A new episode of A Body Rebels: A Chronic Illness Podcast is now available.

In this episode, I talk about my cousin Jenny, a childhood memory I’ve carried for more than fifty years, and the way grief can return through laughter before it ever knows what to do with itself. I’m reflecting on family distance, ovarian cancer, chronic illness, and what it feels like when my body keeps me far from a goodbye I wish I could attend. It’s about cousins, memory, regret, love, and the strange little details that keep people alive inside us.

This podcast is narrated using an AI voice. The words, reflections, and lived experience are my own.
