Make content about: Gillian took her granddaughters away
After losing her husband, Gillian struggled to leave home. A seaside break with her granddaughters proved they could manage on their own.
This story
Gillian was her husband's carer for 42 years before he died suddenly, which triggered a heart attack from broken heart syndrome. As the sole carer for her granddaughters, she spent months isolated at home and fearful of falling ill. A two-night break at the coast gave her space to grieve and restored her confidence to plan new trips.
