In this episode Stacey and Sadie engage in an authentic dialogue about grief and loss, drawing from their shared experiences of losing their husbands to stage 4 bowel cancer. In this honest conversation, they confront the harsh realities faced amidst a pandemic, delving into the challenges of end-of-life care and the profound need for connection and community during caregiving. They openly discuss the isolation they both felt and the differing coping mechanisms observed in their husbands. Touching on the urgency of normalising conversations about death and dying, they emphasise the importance of expressing wishes and desires before it's too late, ensuring that loved ones aren't burdened with unresolved matters after their loss. Tune in for a raw, straight-talking discussion that sheds light on the unspoken truths of grief and the imperative need for open dialogue in navigating life's most difficult transitions.
