The day Debs and I worked together was the first time I’d sat and had a conversation with a mum with bowel cancer, about the reality of knowing they’ll be leaving their children behind 🖊️ CharleneWhite
The day of the screening was one of the most hectic mum-days I’d had for a while: ferrying the kids to school concerts, birthday parties, football training, attempting to put on glam make-up in my friend’s kitchen with eight kids under six years old racing around in various stages of meltdown. It was one of those trying not to drop any balls days .
I’d managed to mess up my transport to the screening and arrived just as it was about to start. As I was seated I suddenly felt panicked about sitting alone in my grief, in a room of people I didn’t know very well. I didn’t want to be the sad woman on her own crying in the corner of a dark cinema. I just wanted to roll into a small ball so no-one would notice me. But it was incredibly stupid of me to run from grief all day, because it was going to catch me whatever I did.
That is what I’d been carrying with me the day of the screening. Grief had been bubbling from the moment I woke up. But just before the lights dimmed in the screening room, I heard someone call my name. Lauren Mahon, Debs’ co-presenter on thepodcast and the shining light I needed in that room was sat behind me. In a room full of strangers, the one person I actually knew was in touching distance. She squeezed my hand, blew me a kiss, and in that moment I finally breathed out.
