#61 - Emma Charlesworth
09/11/23 • 91 min
Today Rosie speaks with Emma Charlesworth about life after the tragic death of her husband, Charlie, due to Covid-19.
Emma joins us to recount the harrowing events preceding Charlie's hospitalization, the desperate clutching at straws of optimism, and the heartrending choice to bid him goodbye.
This was a tough one as it so closely mirrored Jon's own experience of Covid and how it's so closely cost him his life.
Thank you to Emma for opening up a world that we all lived in fear of during that terrible time, and humanising the horrific experience of losing someone in lockdown.
