Losing mum with Charlene White, ITV News presenter & Loose Women Host

On this weeks episode I'm talking to ITV news presenter & Loose Women host, Charlene White. Chatting all things grief and her mum Dorette.Charlene's words on a Loose Women episode around April 2021 stopped me dead in my hoovering tracks. Engrossed in what she had to say about grief and her mum, I just knew I wanted to speak with her. Low and behold 8 months later, I bring to you this beautiful conversation. In this episode, Charlene will take you back to when she was just 16 and her mum being diagnosed with Bowel cancer, what life looked like for her and family whilst mum was ill and to me, the most special part of this episode, the meaning of true friendship. Your home team who will show up and show out in your darkest of hours, just like Charlene's did and still do. Thank you Charlene for coming on to the show and for sharing your mum with me.
