Kim Sanow: Navigating Love, Loss, and Faith in the Shadow of Cancer

We are in this life together to support one another and build community around hope and redemption.
Picture growing up in a tough environment, finding love, and then facing the ultimate test of that love through a devastating illness. That's the story of Kim Sanow, who shares her deeply personal journey on this episode of 'Fortitude'. Raised in inner-city St. Paul and later on a farm, Kim's early years were marked by neglect and emotional challenges. She found her anchor in faith at 19 and has since used it as her guiding light through life's storms.
Her marriage to Jerry was a beacon of joy, lasting 40 years until prostate cancer took him away in 2020. Kim opens up about the rollercoaster of emotions that came with Jerry's diagnosis and eventual passing, from fear and uncertainty to grief and eventual healing. As a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, she also offers insights into how her professional background helped her navigate these turbulent times. Throughout the episode, Kim emphasizes the power of community and faith.
She talks about the vital support she received from her family, friends, and church, and how she now dedicates herself to helping others find hope and redemption. Whether you're grappling with illness, loss, or any form of hardship, Kim's story serves as a heartfelt reminder that you're not alone and that hope can be found even in the darkest times.
