In a time before internet, WhatsApp, and FaceTime, can you imagine sending your husband, spouse, or loved one off to war—not knowing when you’d hear from them next? In this special Remembrance Sunday episode, I sit down with my mother-in-law, Carole, a Navy wife who lived through the Falklands War with two young kids and a husband deployed on the front lines. She shares what it was like to rely on the occasional telegram, the whispers of news that filtered through from the officers wife, and the strength it took to hold down the fort at home. Join us for Carole’s story of resilience, community, and the love that kept her going through months of silence. It’s a heartfelt glimpse into a time when military life looked very different and the strength behind the uniform was truly unbreakable.
