Losing My Wife at 31: Raising Our Daughter Alone

In this deeply moving episode, Chris shares the story of losing his
wife Laura to sarcoma — a rare and aggressive cancer — while
raising their young daughter together. From the shock of diagnosis
during early parenthood, through treatment, recovery, relapse, and
ultimately end-of-life care, Chris opens up about the reality of
navigating grief in real time while still trying to be a present
father. He reflects on the moment their “normal life” changed
forever, the challenges of explaining illness and death to a small
child, and how he has continued to parent through heartbreak,
responsibility, and love. This conversation explores grief,
resilience, and what it means to keep going when everything you
planned for your future disappears. A powerful story of love, loss,
and legacy — and how one family continues to honour Laura’s memory
every day. Topics include: Sarcoma diagnosis and treatment journey
Parenting through terminal illness Sudden loss and bereavement
Explaining death to young children Life after losing a partner
Building legacy and raising awareness of sarcoma
