In this episode of The Widow Podcast, I talk with author and campaigner Laurence Carter about his powerful journey through grief after losing his wife, Melitta, to stage 4 cervical cancer in 2015.

Laurence shares their love story, Melitta's diagnosis, and the long goodbye they faced together as a family. He opens up about his year-long walk around the coast of England and Wales, a challenge that raised awareness of cervical cancer, encouraged women to attend smear tests, and helped him navigate life after loss.

We discuss:

Coping with the death of a spouse after a long illness
The emotional and physical impact of grief
How walking, nature, and connection helped Laurence heal
Stories from strangers he met along the way
Why listening without trying to fix can be the greatest gift
Finding love again after bereavement

If you or someone you know has experienced the loss of a partner or wants to better understand grief recovery, this episode offers comfort, hope, and inspiration.

Find out more about Laurence on his site, including where to buy copies of his wonderful book.
