Meme’s Westley

Episode Two
Meme’s Westley - Colon Cancer Awareness | Unhealed. Siblings; Series by Unfiltered. Unhealed;

This is where the Unhealed. Siblings; series begins.

Unhealed. Siblings; is a space for surviving siblings to speak on the brothers and sisters they’ve lost. The grief, the memories, the questions, and everything that comes after. There’s no right way to carry this. Some days we cry… most days we laugh because sometimes laughter is the only way through.

In this episode, Meme (my friend of over 2 decades) shares the story of losing her middle brother, Westley. Something we unfortunately have in common: we both know what it means to lose a sibling. Meme has lost three brothers. Westley’s story is the first shared on Unhealed. Siblings; with more to come.

Westley was just 34 when he passed from colon cancer, a disease that had been present long before it was discovered. He was quiet, had special needs, and was deeply loved by his family. What followed was a fast, heartbreaking journey of diagnosis, difficult decisions, and navigating what it means to prioritize comfort, dignity, and quality of life in the face of the unimaginable.

This episode isn’t just about how Meme lost Westley.
It’s about awareness.
It’s about how quickly things can change.
It’s about the reality families face when advocating for someone they love.

Forewarning - You Will Hear Kids in the background. That’s real life here. Late nights, cousins together, families still living… even while carrying loss.
