Widowed AF: Real stories of love, grief and beyond - With Rosie Moss

#73 - Louise Dodds


Listen Later

In an(other) emotional episode, host Rosie Gill-Moss speaks with Louise Dodds, a young widow who tragically lost her partner Andy in a cycling accident while he was on holiday. 

Louise shares her story, from receiving the devastating phone call, to having to crowdfund to repatriate Andy's body back home. 

Rosie and Louise bond over both being sudden death widows and the complicated grief that comes with the lack of closure. 

Louise candidly discusses the struggles of the early days of grief - not eating, only sleeping with wine, and returning to work too soon. 

Later in the episode, Louise opens up about deciding not to have children with her new partner of 4 years due to fertility issues, and learning to accept her stepson as enough. 

The story ends on a high note, with Louise revealing she recently got engaged to her (alive) partner and we wish them all the love  and happiness in their continuation of life together. ♥️💫
