Finding the strength to put the past behind her to be the person her Mum needed to lean on; with Shenin Dettwyler - a podcast by Kathryn Hooker

 Shenin joined me on the episode recently to tell her own grief story and how working as a Cancer Genetic Counsellor has played a huge part in her journey so far.

 

Her Mum was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in June 2016, and passed away at the beginning of this year just as the pandemic began.

 

We discuss how interlinked her work life and her personal life are and how she found joy in the other parts of her life.

 

Shenin also speaks about her relationship with her Mum and how difficult it was at times due to her Mum’s struggles with her mental health. In this episode you’ll hear her speak about how she had to put all of those feelings behind her and how she found the strength to support her Mum during those difficult years.

 

I hope you enjoy this week’s episode.

 

If you find the podcast useful I’d be so grateful if you would consider supporting its future by signing up to donate a monthly amount, from as little as £1 to help me pay for the various services that keep it online. I run it in my free time alongside my job and fund the majority of it myself, but this podcast wouldn’t be here now without the kind donations I’ve received in the past and it would mean the world to me if you could help me to keep it going.

 

Thank you so much, have a lovely week, and keep safe!
