At just 31, Karla Hawkins’ husband Dan was diagnosed with stage four bladder cancer. Overnight, life became a whirlwind of surgeries, drug trials, and caregiving — all while trying to hold onto hope.

In this moving episode, Karla shares:

• The shock of a rare diagnosis in young adulthood

• Becoming a full-time caregiver while balancing work and finances

• The phone call that told her Dan had just one week to live

• Their last-minute wedding in his father’s garden before hospice care

• The decision not to use Dan’s stored sperm after his death

• How she rebuilt her life while keeping Dan’s memory visible

This is a story about love, logistics, loss — and the impossible choices we make when time runs out.
