Lotte Bowser: This Love is Eternal

On the 14th November 2020, at the age of 30, Lotte became a widow, after her soul mate, Ben Khouizter, died of Covid 19 in a Mexican hospital, where they had courageously travelled against all odds - to receive cancer treatment for a diagnosis they were told was terminal in August. Lotte and Ben’s love, bravery and earth shattering pursuit to save his life, knew no bounds. Ben was 36, he was one of the most universally loved people on this Earth. Their story was one that captured the hearts and support of thousands of people all over the world who were willing him back to health. The profundity of his death has been felt on every corner of the planet. Lotte’s story is one which tells of the unique and quantum loss of her Ben, but it also speaks to the ‘distinctly’ cruel and isolated process of loss and grief that millions of people around the world are experiencing, as a result of the Covid 19 pandemic.   Since Ben’s passing…Lotte has committed herself to laying the raw and visceral narration of her grief open, and in doing so it has provided a witness statement to these very early, wild and raw stages of grief, that are normally experienced behind the veil of people's most hidden lives. So, this conversation is a rare and privileged window into the very early days and weeks after loss. Lotte’s story truly tells us of the limitless love and courage that grieving hearts can hold. So if the world is feeling like a dark or difficult place, join us and let your heart be ignited by the fire of the human spirit. Created and hosted by Jess MillsCreative co-production by Bonny TydemanProduced by Joel Porter - Dot Dot Dot Productions Hosted on Acast.
