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.
