Episode-45

Karen Duque and her family heard the words no parent ever prepares to hear. Her ray of sunshine, Jakey, a 4-year-old beacon of light, was diagnosed with a rare form of childhood cancer, DIPG. She shares her story of mustard seed faith and how she learned to enjoy every last minute of Jakey's life. Karen discusses her journey through immeasurable pain, grief, unwavering faith, and resiliency.  *It must be noted that while we recorded this episode, a ray of sunshine gleamed strongly across Karen's face, reminding us that Jakey's presence was ever so felt. We felt titling the episode "Ray of Sunshine" would be very well suited. In loving memory of Jakey Duque May 08, 2015-June 08, 2020.  Links to follow Karen and The Duque Family's journey are listed below:  https://www.instagram.com/kduque143/ https://www.instagram.com/jakeysarmy www.jakeysarmy.org The content on The Mindful Corner Podcast should not be taken as medical advice.
