Make content about: Heidi is finding her footing again

Heidi spent months caring for her mother through cancer. After both parents died, she had to rebuild who she is.

This story

After years of limited contact, Heidi became a full-time carer for her mother following a cancer diagnosis. While juggling a new job, exhaustion, and round-the-clock caring, she turned to Carers Leeds for practical support, grant help, and group sessions. In the course of a single year, both of Heidi's parents died, she went through a divorce, and she bought a house. She is now finding her footing again, balancing grief with rediscovering who she is as a climber, gardener, and friend.
