Description

When Maria Quiban Whitesell’s husband, Sean, was diagnosed with glioblastoma—a deadly and aggressive brain cancer—her world fell apart. Eighteen months later, she found herself a widow and a solo parent to their young son, Gus. In this powerful conversation, Maria shares the raw truth about navigating her husband’s illness, the impossible grief that followed, and how she learned to keep moving forward when it felt impossible.




Now an advocate for brain cancer awareness and the author of You Can’t Do It Alone, Maria opens up about what she wishes she had known, the importance of community and mental health support, and how she’s helping others find their way through devastating loss.
