Joann shares insight on how Andy became a patient advocate as well as the various supports that were available to them then and others now. Quotes "We're learning, and so we make slow steps so we make good choices instead of jumping in and making mistakes." "You're always not crying in front of people because you are worried about someone else and not yourself." On grief and being "selfish"- "Grief comes in waves…some days gentle…sometimes drowning…it would not be "selfish" to use a life raft." "Honor people, big and small…Grief is not one size fits all…Our stories help people heal…Don't stop talking about the person." About Joann: Joann is a public school educator and a founding board member of the foundation.
