A rising football star. A test drive. A mother’s double heartbreak
Manage episode 517872427 series 3675142
In this powerful episode, I sit down with Kerry, a devoted mum whose world changed in an instant when a tragic accident took both her husband, David, and their son, Cameron.
Cameron wasn’t just any boy, he was a rising football star with a professional contract and a heart that lived for his friends, his family, and the game. Kerry opens up about the day that shattered her world, the shockwaves that followed, and the strength it takes to keep breathing when everything feels impossible.
Together, we talk about love, loss, survival, and the invisible threads that connect us to those we’ve lost.
Recorded in Dec’s van — the heart of The Functioning Griefster — this conversation reminds us that grief isn’t something to fix. It’s something to honour, to carry, and to keep finding meaning within.
Thank you, Kerry, for trusting me with your story, and for reminding us all that connection truly is the medicine grief needs. 🌷
