Chris Cochran

You got to connect the dots to other human beings, because without connecting to humans, you're not going to be able to to generate the opportunities to talk to more people, talk about good things you can do. So I think legacy to me is just that, spreading the message. Love is first and foremost. How do you extend that love to so many and share goodness and how they can share goodness as well.

Sure. So I partner with YASU, which is Young Adult Survivors United. YASU is for short. The fund is through the, like I said, Christian Cochran Legacy Fund through the Pittsburgh Foundation. You can probably Google Christian Cochran and you'll get all kinds of information on my son. And there's christiancochran.org, which talks about, of course, Christian, the Legacy Fund, the foundation.

It talks about Christian and talks about all the goodness that we're doing, events that we're involved in, where we sponsor, where we try to get out and see the community. So to me, we're still in the grass. Christian just passed away three years ago. So it's still very raw in a way. We're still just trying to get our name out there to do the good works.

And certainly if your audience, if there's anyone thinks that this will be a good message, certainly reach out to me and you can do that personally anytime, anytime.

The book was something that I started about a year and a half ago. And when I say started, it's sort of putting my head together. I was just coming out of one year being with Christian's passing. And I'm a writer. I like to write. Not necessarily I'm a great writer per se, but But I write a lot of journaling. I'm a journaler.

So during the course of Christian's sickness, every day I sat and I journaled. And I wrote what I was feeling. Good thoughts, bad thoughts. It was a way for me to escape. Many times these were going on between midnight and 4 o'clock in the morning. I didn't think I slept much during that first year at all.

And it was just this whirlwind of trying, of course, to save Christian's life first and foremost. Because I learned so much in that process of RNAs and DNAs and sequencings. And how to figure out how we can solve this terrible cancer.

It literally went back to about a year and a half ago, taking those journals, compiling them, reviewing them, which was not a fun task for me because it was bringing back everything to life, how I felt during those times. But I knew I had to do it. I knew that it was important to bring purpose. to Christian's passing. And then I decided to tell a story.

And there's people have asked me, they said, what's your book about? What's this all about? Is it your son dying of cancer? No, no. See, this is a book of love. It is a love story. That's what this book is about, is about telling people that, yes, you can be resilient. One universal thing that we all deal with is grief. It's universal. We're all going to experience it.

We're all going to be one day at those moments in our life. But it really is, how do you navigate life so that you can come out on the other side and leading this purposely driven life? So the book has just been a cathartic process. And ultimately, following the guidelines of Christian, I didn't write this book. Christian is always the star. He always was the star.
