In this deeply personal and emotional episode of the Heartbreak Warfare Podcast, co-host Chase Peckham shares the story of his wife, Keri Peckham, and her courageous battle with stage 4 colon cancer—from the initial diagnosis to her final days.

Joined by co-host Carol, Chase opens up about the realities of walking through terminal illness as a family. Together, they discuss what it looked like to have honest, age-appropriate conversations with their children, how they navigated fear, hope, and grief in real time, and the unexpected strength that came from community.

This episode goes beyond the pain, highlighting the profound lessons Keri’s life and journey left behind—about love, presence, faith, and what truly matters when everything else falls away. It’s a raw and heartfelt conversation about loss, resilience, and the kind of perspective that only comes through deep heartbreak.

Whether you’ve experienced loss yourself or want to better support someone who has, this episode offers insight, comfort, and a powerful reminder: even in the hardest stories, there is meaning, connection, and enduring love. @fightcrc @coloncancercoalition, @exactscienses, @cologuardclassic, @chasepeckham, @sweetcareline
