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

#75 - Clare Hardy


Listen Later

In this episode of Widowed AF, host Rosie Gill-Moss is joined by Clare Hardy, a young widow navigating grief and single parenthood after the death of her wife Rupa. Rupa had Hodgkin's lymphoma and passed away from complications of cellulitis at age 36, leaving behind Clare and their two young children.

Clare bravely shares the details of Rupa's illness, her unconventional decision to refuse chemotherapy, and the rapid decline in her health near the end. She talks about the heartbreaking realization that Rupa would not survive, despite her adamant belief that she would recover.

Clare also opens up about accessing end-of-life care as a same-sex couple, the logistics of managing her wife's care and raising two small children alone, and the disenfranchised grief she experienced before gay marriage was legalized.
