"I Was Holding You Up When You Wanted To Give Up" | Defying Husbands Terminal Brain Tumor & Caregiver Guilt with Gemma

Welcome back to We Talk to the Dead 🤍I am joined by a very
special guest and close family friend, Gemma. Gemma's husband Ian
is my dad’s lifelong best friend, making this conversation hit so
close to home for both of us. We dive straight into the beautiful
yet brutal realities of Gemma's life over the past year. As a
regional care manager responsible for hundreds of elderly
residents and end-of-life care staff, Gemma spent her career
supporting others through death - but nothing could prepare her
for when terminal illness arrived on her own doorstep... We talk
about Ian's devastating, inoperable brain tumor diagnosis, the
heartbreaking "grumpy phase" where he was quietly counting down
the days to April thinking he would pass, and the sheer strength
it takes to keep working and paying the mortgage while wondering
if your safe space will still be there in the morning This
episode is a masterclass in resilience, survival, and learning
that it is finally okay to let your barriers down and cry
