This week on Dying for a Cuppa – The Podcast, I’m joined by my lovely friend Vicky, sister to my dear friend Becky, who if you follow me on socials, will know passed away in March 2024.
Vicky and I sit down for a deeply honest and emotional conversation about her family’s journey through multiple losses — her mum Pat, her sister Nicola, and then Becky — each loss different, each one leaving its own mark. Vicky shares so openly about the impact of grief, the realities of illness, and the experience of hospice care.
As with all my guest episodes, we talk very openly and honestly — but please do bear in mind that this one does get emotional. It’s a tender and raw listen, so go gently if you choose to tune in.
This episode is especially close to my heart. Becky was my personal friend — brilliant, funny, and full of life with the best laugh — and while losing her broke my heart, it brought me a new friend in her sister, Vicky.
This episode is a story of heartbreak, connection, and the life that can come from even the deepest of losses.
