174: After Anna Toland's husband died, she fell in love with his friend

from Motherland Australia · host Stephanie Trethewey

Anna Toland is a survivor. She was born with a facial hemangioma the size of her head and as a newborn was given just a 10% chance of living. When she was in her 20s, it felt like her life was finally falling into place. She met her first husband, fell head over heels, and then fell pregnant with their little boy Charlie. But when Anna was just 26 years old, her husband Dan died unexpectedly after battling pneumonia- it was a complete shock to everyone.  All of a sudden, Anna was a widow, with a six month old baby to care for- and a future that felt completely uncertain.  She moved to a rural property to escape, to grieve, and to find herself again. What happened next, is quite extraordinary. She fell in love with her son's godfather, who was also one of Dan's best mates.
