FROM GRAHAM

In March 2024, I lost my wife and partner of 20 years, Claire, to a rare form of cancer. At the time, our children were just 10 and 13 years old. Overnight, life changed completely. I was suddenly facing grief, parenthood and an uncertain future without knowing where to begin or who to turn to.

The consistency and strength Claire brought to our family, who we lovingly called our “Commandeering Chief”, was gone. The corporate world I had known for 15 years as a director, travelling and managing businesses, had to change so I could be present for my children as we navigated an incredibly difficult time together.

Her loss also resurfaced grief I had never fully processed: losing my mum to lung cancer in 1998, one of my closest friends in 1999 and my grandfather in 2000. Feelings I had buried for years suddenly came back to the surface, and I needed to address them before I could begin working on myself.
