Hart has been full steam ahead with his career, even after coping with such a tough loss. We’re sure that his mom, the late Nancy Hart, would be so proud of him if she were to see all that he has accomplished – not just career successes, but in his family life, too. Hart is the father of three adorable children, ages 15, 13, and 3.

Understanding Ovarian Cancer
Nancy Hart passed away from ovarian cancer in 2007, and this type has been called “the cancer that whispers,” due to its hard-to-spot symptoms which may resemble menstrual symptoms. Dr. Beth Karlan, a Gynecologic Oncologist at UCLA Medical Center, said in a previous interview, “Ovarian cancer does not have any specific symptoms. It’s often referred to as the cancer that whispers, in that it has symptoms that are really very vague…and nothing that may bring your attention directly to the ovaries.”

Dr. Karlain explained what women should pay attention to, when it comes to ovarian cancer symptoms. “The symptoms include things like feeling full earlier than you usually would when your appetite is strong. Feeling bloated. Some changes in your bowel habits. Some pain in the pelvis. These are symptoms women may have every month. These are not very specific. But what we’ve found from multiple studies, it’s this constellation of symptoms.”

Coping with the Loss of a Parent
Losing a parent to cancer is devastating and it takes a long time to move through grief. For Camila Legaspi, who lost her mom to breast cancer when she was still in high school, found therapy to be a helpful way to confront her grief and keep things in perspective.
“Therapy saved my life,” Legaspi said in a previous interview. “I was dealing with some really intense anxiety and depression at that point. It just changed my life, because I was so drained by all the negativity that was going on. Going to a therapist helped me realize that there was still so much out there for me, that I still had my family, that I still had my siblings.”

Legaspi acknowledges the hardship that accompanies such a terrible loss. “The reality is, is when you lose someone, it’s really, really, really hard. And it’s totally OK to talk to someone. And I’m so happy that I talked to my therapist. Keep your chin up, and it’s going to be OK.”
