In this emotional and deeply human episode of A Trauma Survivor Thriver’s Podcast, host Lorilee Binstock sits down with Amber Sweet Davis, author of Please Don’t Die, to share a story of motherhood, trauma, and unimaginable resilience. When Amber’s four-year-old son was diagnosed with neuroblastoma, her family’s world was turned upside down. What began as a small limp quickly unfolded into a life-altering journey through hospitals, treatments, and the raw realities of childhood cancer. Through tears, truth, and unflinching honesty, Amber opens up about grief, parenting through crisis, and the strength it takes to keep showing up when everything feels impossible. She discusses how writing became a tool for healing, advocacy, and connection — and how her story is not just about loss, but about the power of love, authenticity, and community in surviving life’s hardest moments. Together, Lorilee and Amber explore what it means to live transparently, to find light in darkness, and to redefine survival not as endurance, but as courage, vulnerability, and hope.
