They Both Died. I Cannot Believe This Is Now My Life | Becky Livingston | Ep 100

This is the fan mail link! Becky Livingston's world imploded twice. First, her partner Bob was diagnosed with aggressive brain cancer and died six months later. Then, 18 months after that, her daughter Rachel's brain tumour returned. Most people would have stayed on the floor. Becky got up, packed her daughter's ashes, and spent 26 months scattering them across the places Rachel had dreamed of visiting.This is a conversation about the most devastating thing that can happen to a person, and the extraordinary decision to find gold in the wreckage. Becky shares Bob's life lessons (including the one that stopped me cold), how gratitude actually works when you have every reason to be bitter, and why changing your outer view can change your inner one. Her book is called Joyful Mourning, and after you hear this, you'll understand why that title isn't a contradiction.0:00 — When Life Hits You With Back-to-Back Tragedy2:11 — Falling in Love Again as a Single Mum (and Losing Him Too)6:04 — "To Be Constantly Strong Is a Weakness" — Bob's Wisest Lesson7:51 — The Day Her Daughter's Brain Tumor Came Back8:33 — How She Survived Losing a Partner to Brain Cancer8:32 — Falling Apart After Loss — What Actually Helped Her Heal10:33 — How to Care for Yourself While Watching Someone Die13:49 — Remembering Rachel — A Daughter Who Loved to Laugh and Travel16:02 — The Travel Journey That Started With a Book of Stars16:44 — Why She Turned Her Grief Into a Book (and Why Only She Could Write It)19:54 — How Grief and Gratitude Can Coexist22:37 — How a Terminal Diagnosis Changes the Way You Live26:57 — Reinventing Your Life After 50 — It's Never Too Late30:54 — Using Travel to Navigate Life's Biggest Transitions32:17 — How to Find Yourself Again After Everything Changes35:19 — Closing — Part Two Coming ThursdayGuest Page: (link)Links To Love (newsletter etc): https://shithappy.com/resources/Watch On Youtube:@shithappypodcastFor laughs check out our other Youtube @inbedwithphilIf you or someone you know is navigating grief, reach out to a bereavement counsellor or grief support service in your area.
