Sarah Jane Last • Surviving It Alone

Welcome lovely listeners to another incredible episode of the Born Human podcast where this week we are graced with the presence of Sarah Jane Last to explore her incredible journey of survival in parenthood. In 2018, 2 days before she was due to celebrate her 40th Birthday Sarah received a phone call that would change her life forever when her husband died of Sudden Adult Death Syndrome (SADS).Without warning she was thrust into a whirlwind of survival to navigate a future for her and her two boys without her husband to share that journey with.In this episode we explore the challenges of coping with such an enormous loss, mental health and resilience, the importance of honesty and the harsh realities of surviving life.This was without doubt one of the most challenging conversations we had in season 1, but it filled me with hope that through Sarah's honesty we are able to better appreciate her experience, and show more empathy should it touch our own lives. Sarah demonstrates how with courage and resilience, she has rebuilt a life for her family to accept what she cannot change and instead use her experience to give her children the best future she can in her husbands memory.*This episode contains potentially triggering content*EPISODE LINKSGRIEF WORKS BY JULIA SAMUELCRUSEWINSTONS WISHWIDOWED & YOUNGSUDDENCHILD BEREAVEMENT UKYOUNG MINDSMORE ABOUT BORN HUMANWWW.BORNHUMAN.CO.UKINSTAGRAM - WE ARE BORN HUMANINSTAGRAM - BORNHUMANPODCASTFACEBOOK - BORN HUMANLINKEDIN - BORN HUMAN CONSULTANCYContact us at [email protected] as ever to LONGY for gracing us with his musical talents for the backdrop to this podcast.
