225 - Annabelle Wilson's single mum story - becoming a widow at 7 months pregnant

Annabelle Wilson met her husband when she was 19 years old. He had already been diagnosed with brain cancer and had been given 18 months to live. He was 22 years old. They ended up sharing ten beautiful years together. They got married and then Annabelle fell pregnant. When she was seven months pregnant, her loving husband, Josh, lost his battle with cancer. Annabelle gave birth to their beautiful daughter, Primrose, a couple of months later on Josh's birthday. In this episode, Annabelle shares her story.   She also talks about: how she keeps Josh's memory alive for her now, almost 3-year-old, daughter, how they managed to not let the cancer prognosis affect what they did with their lives, the confusing time between Josh's death and the two months leading up to their daughter's birth, how she managed grief and becoming a new mum at the same time, what dating has been like since then, having a new partner and how that has been plus the associated guilt, her work with the Cure Brain Cancer Foundation, her advice for other women going through the same thing, and so much more. Annabelle is such an inspiration. She has an incredibly positive attitude and mindset and I'm so happy to have her on the show.
