Follow me as I tell my raw and emotional story of becoming a widow at 41 years old after my husband passed away suddenly one night, whilst I was out of the country. Join me as I relive the shock, heartbreak and trauma of what happened that fateful night in the hopes that somebody who needs to hear this will find me and perhaps take something from my story. My aim is to navigate this new life as best I can and hopefully help others along the way.
Quick catch up - full of a cold. What plans do we have?
