In this episode, I talk about in detail the life I had with my late partner Roger. Talking about this in detail, has been a help to me, as a way of healing from grief. Roger passed away from MND / ALS (Motor Neurone Disease / Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis). Hopefully this episode would also resonate with anyone else that has had to go through something similar, caring for the person they love through a terminal illness. I have difficulty seeing Roger on that last moment when the doctor was beside him, and Roger made the decision for the effects of the morphine to just finally let him pass away peacefully. So in this episode I go from the very beginning, how me and Roger met, and everything in between, right through to the end and how it felt when I lost him. Recording this episode was like a therapy session for me, I feel proud of myself for being able to talk in detail about the love of my life Roger, how we met, how great our relationship was, and how I felt at the end, and how do I feel now, 8 years on from his passing. The support I have from Mersey Care NHS through the difficulty I have coming to terms with my partner's loss has been invaluable to me, my CPN is a vital support, helping me to talk about Roger and how I feel now, and finding ways to manage that loss, no matter how many years later.
