Dealing with Cancer

Micah Wolkenberg narrates his own family's grieving process following the death of his father from cancer. At this point in his journey, Micah reflects on the intense community response that was mounted during his family's hardest hours - and how faith leaders and social service groups wrapped themselves around his entire family.
