What happens when your best friend’s child is diagnosed with cancer? How do you show up for someone you love when you can't fix the very thing that's breaking their heart?
In this episode of The Deep C, I sit down with Chelsea Wetherup, whose best friend, Claire Masikewich, was thrown into the world of childhood cancer when her daughter, Sloane, was diagnosed with stage 4 high-risk neuroblastoma in 2023.
Chelsea offers a perspective we don't often hear: what it's like to stand beside someone you love through the unimaginable. We talk about the instinct to protect, knowing when to listen and when to speak, the helplessness of watching your best friend suffer, and the kind of friendship where you can still find something completely inappropriate to laugh about in the middle of it all.
This conversation is a love letter to female friendship, to the women who know us better than almost anyone, and to the extraordinary gift of having someone who doesn't need to be told how to show up.
