How To Be 60 with Kaye Adams

Scott Hastings: Love, Loss, and Learning to Live Again


Listen Later

On this week’s episode, we’re joined by Scott Hastings, the rugby legend who has lived through the unimaginable and still finds a way to smile. After losing his wife and teenage sweetheart, Jenny, to suicide after 45 years together, Scott shares the reality of grief, resilience, and what it means to choose joy without ignoring pain.


Whether you’re navigating your own storms or supporting someone through theirs, this conversation meets you with honesty, tenderness, and hope. We talk about living with someone you love through mental illness, how grief changes a family, and why being kind - even when you’re tired - matters more than ever.


Because no one tells you how to survive after the future you planned disappears. Yet here Scott is swimming in Wardy Bay each week, celebrating small joys, finding peace where Jenny found hers, and holding love and loss in the same breath.
