Helen2809 ,

Wonderful❤️

I started watching your youtube episodes when my husband was ill, he had primary bone sarcoma in his left femur (Spindle cell) and endured
surgery, chemotherapy & radiotherapy.

My wonderful husband passed away a month ago and I have now found your podcasts. I feel like I know you from youtube and the way that you express your feelings is really helpful for me. My husband was only just 56 so although our children are adults, I still feel he was so very young.

I have cried listening to episode 2 Life Celebration tonight, it helps me so much to know that you understand and to listen to your thoughts.

You have really helped me and Chris used to make me laugh all the time on youtube!

You are doing an amazing job ... keep going
and we will all keep listening❤️

God bless you Becky❤️

Clear, honest and beautiful

A must to listen to even if you’ve never lost anyone. Becky gives us an understanding of living and coping with grief . So interesting.

‘There are hundreds of beginnings. And they all come After.’

WOW! What an amazing new podcast. Becky, you have found your calling. So natural. So beautifully told. I was right there with you. And I just wanted to say a massive well done. Living with grief is something we know, but actually we do sort of believe there is an end to it. That there should be an end. To know that there isn’t and that’s ok is going to change lives. YOU are going to change lives. ‘To be happy and heartbroken at the same time’ and that the two aren’t mutually exclusive. So many illuminations. I am going to tune into episode 2 now and cannot wait to follow this podcast. It’s spot on and there was a reason you waited to record it. The words at the end are so powerful, ‘There are hundreds of beginnings. And they all come After.’ Well done. Chris IS proud of you and the life you’re living ❤️
