Join her & the kids in Turkey, on what will become “the worst holiday ever.” A trip fraught with new challenges: navigating bad advice, sympathetic head tilts… and the ‘W’ word. But the turbulent dynamics of a newly fractured family aren’t the kind of baggage you can just stow away neatly in the overhead compartment…
A Beginners Guide to Widowhood is a one-woman show exploring the experiences of young, widowed women, loss, and why we don’t talk about death
