Bereavement: navigating young widowhood

Bereavement: navigating young widowhood

NB: During the welcome to this episode of The Different Stories Podcast and during the conversation itself, you will hear it referred to as The Other Stories Podcast.

That was the original name of the podcast until we were requested to change it in November 2023, due to the presence of another podcast of the same name, of a completely different genre.

The podcast is now known as The Different Stories Podcast across all platforms.

When her husband was diagnosed with leukaemia when their son was just 7 years old, Fi Wadforth found herself immersed in a world of hospital appointments, diagnoses and treatments. She shares her story for the first time in public in this episode of The Different Stories Podcast of keeping life as normal as possible for her son, while dealing with one of her worst nightmares. Now more than 10 years on, she also talks about how she’s found a part of herself she didn’t know was there before.
