When Vanessa lost her husband of 19 years, she questioned whether the right spouse had died.
As a person with disability (Spina Bifida), Vanessa struggled with the question of whether she was as valuable to her children as her able-bodied husband had been, because she was unable to play sport with her children, or physically support them in the ways that he had.
In Part Two of our chat with Vanessa she talks about her grief journey, why the second year is harder, her experience of anger at her dead spouse, as well as how she feels about the future, six years on from the moment her life unexpectedly changed.
